Covid-19, climate crisis hits fitness in 50% of countries

More than 50% of countries have reported partial or serious disruptions to their fitness facilities due to the dual effect of Covid-19 and the climate crisis, according to a report by Every Woman Every Child, a motion filed 10 years ago and led by then-UN secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Disruptions to the regimen’s immunization facilities, malaria prevention campaigns, the circle of family members making plans, and prenatal care facilities threaten progress in the fitness of women and children in recent decades.

Covid-19 impact, crisis and conflict

Despite advances, sexual and reproductive fitness and rights remain asymmetrical in many countries. Prior to the pandemic, low- and middle-income countries (IFRS) did not comply with universal policy for many interventions. Nearly 86% of all maternal deaths and 82% of all under-five deaths were concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

But the pandemic has made the situation worse, potentially reversing progress in preventable maternal and child mortality, which is negative for adolescent health.

According to the report, there is 45% relief in the policy of high-impact maternal and child fitness primary interventions for six months in 118 low- and middle-income countries (IFRS), resulting in 1,157,000 child deaths and an additional 56,700 maternal deaths. .

Another thirteen million child marriages are expected to come true by 2030, which would not have happened differently In the coming months, there will be nearly seven million unwanted pregnancies due to ongoing blockages that prevent women from seeking and receiving the care they want on time.

The pandemic has also plunged another 150 million young people into poverty and at least 40 million international young people have lost education in the early years of training, as Covid-19 has closed kindergartens and preschools.

“The report is a truth check, a reminder of how far we’ve come and how far we want to go,” said Omar Abdi, UNICEF’s Deputy Executive Director of Systems.

Call to cooperation

The report called on global network paintings to combat the Covid-19 to paintings in combination and the lives of women and young people. Under pressure, it wants to protect progress in advancing the fitness of women, young people and adolescents from the effects of the pandemic.

“As we respond to Covid-19 and reinvent a greater future, with lasting peace, adding at home, we will have to say unequivocally that women’s and women’s rights are non-negotiable. Even in times of crisis, especially in times of crisis, her sexual and reproductive fitness and rights must be preserved at all costs,” said Natalia Kanem, Executive Director of the United Nations Reproductive Rights Agency, UNFPA.
