One year on from the military takeover in Myanmar and the situation for women is especially bleak. Many are scared to leave their homes, are struggling to earn a stable income, and the peace, political and economic rights they saw improvements on for a decade are rapidly disappearing.

This joint report from UNDP and UN Women analyses the gendered social and economic impacts of the pandemic and the coup, and provides a solid foundation for designing gender-sensitive interventions. It uses survey data gathered from interviews with 2,200 women in November 2021 to explore these themes.

The report is available in English and Myanmar language.
