Q2: The pandemic has forced changes in gender data collection. What is one promising new method or strategy that has emerged as a result?

Q3: UN Women is calling violence against women a ‘shadow pandemic’ alongside COVID-19. What are the challenges around data collection on violence against women?

Q4: What data tools are most promising when it comes to understanding the impact of COVID-19 on the poorest and most vulnerable women?

Q5: What is one thing that could be done now to support National Statistical Offices — which will be charged with informing their countries’ gender-responsive recovery?

Q6: COVID-19 has shed even more light on unpaid care work. What can be done to support continued measurement of this aspect of women’s lives?

Q7: Using gender data to inform a gender-sensitive COVID-19 response: What’s the best example you can think of right now?
