The seminar marked 2021 World Refugee Day and was entitled: Endangered Lives: Examining the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the health and well-being of refugee women in the Global South.

The event provided a unique opportunity to examine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the lives of refugee women living in protracted crisis in Jordan, Bangladesh and Uganda. Presentations focused on the issues of adolescent reproductive health needs; gender-based violence; serious illness; poverty and hunger and highlighted the urgent need for collective global action, co-produced with refugees, to address these issues.
