Window cleaners at work on the roof of the EP in Brussels

COVID-19, like previous epidemics infect and affect men, women and other genders differently. Whilst indications suggest that more men than women are dying of COVID-19, the impact of the (short and longer term) socio-economic effects of COVID-19 fall disproportionately on women. This infoclip shows different professions carried out by women who have suffered directly or indirectly from the consequences of the coronavirus epidemic: care workers, nurses, laboratory assistant, department store cashier, market gardeners, collective catering staff, staff in charge of cleaning and disinfection, teachers and a mother doing home schooling.

Infoclip: Women and the impact of the COVID-19 crisis

This infoclip shows illustrative footage about an example of circular economy: the recycling circuit of paper towels then turned into toilet paper. The used paper towels are collected by a cleaner and then picked up by a recycling partner and brought to a paper mill where they are recycled into new tissue products.
