摘要

在生命健康、经济、社会保障、生计和教育的各个领域，由于持续存在的性别不平等，新冠肺炎对妇女的影响加剧。妇女不仅更有可能感染新冠肺炎，而且由于家庭无偿护理工作增加、妇女在弱势就业或非正规劳动力部门就业的比例较高，封锁对妇女的经济和社会保障也产生了不成比例的影响。在世界卫生组织（世界卫生组织）于2020年3月11日宣布新冠肺炎为大流行病后，埃及政府于2020年4月14日采取了各种公共卫生措施来遏制病毒的传播，并采取了某些缓解措施来减少对妇女的过度影响。在此背景下，本文探讨了采取缓解措施以减少对妇女的过度影响的国际义务的存在和范围，并分析了埃及对这一义务的新冠肺炎应对措施。©Koninklijke Brill NV，莱顿，2021

Egypt’s COVID-19 Response through a Gender Lens

Across every sphere of life—health, economy, social security, livelihood and education—the impacts of COVID-19 are exacerbated for women due to persisting gender inequalities. Women are not only more likely to contract COVID-19, but also lockdowns have affected women’s economic and social security disproportionately due to increased unpaid care work at home, women’s high representation in vulnerable employment or employment in the informal labour sector. Upon the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March 2020, the Egyptian Government adopted a variety of public health measures to contain the widespread of the virus on 14 March 2020, accompanied by certain mitigation measures to reduce disproportionate impacts on women. Against this backdrop, this article examines the existence and scope of an international obligation to adopt mitigation measures to reduce disproportionate impacts on women and analyzes Egypt’s COVID-19 response against such obligation. © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2021
