in most regions wome over-represented among poorest and under-represented among richest people (esp in SoutAs;EastAs;Pacific regions) + - born primarily from unequal access to quality education, inequalities and injustices in labour market participation, gender earnings gaps + - often also results in children being exposed to severe health and food deprivation and differences in control over assets (capital/land) + - recently exacerbated by COVID-19 reversing equality progress through increased women's/men's paid/unpaid/care work inequalities +- girls/boys from ethnic minorities, indigenous, tribal populations, remote rural areas often facing barriers accessing quality education & essential services + -
