Women Putting in Work creates a baseline of understanding of women in LA County during the COVID-19 pandemic. Women and girls have always been in a more precarious position, especially if they are women of color, immigrants, gender non-conforming, or hold other marginalized identities. This report both identifies the systemic inequities holding women back, in conversation with their resilience. Ultimately, it offers a set of recommendations for how to change policy so that women are not required to be resilient \u2013 so that they live in a world that sees them and supports them.<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic has ripped through the heart of the Los Angeles region. Few have been left unscathed, least of all women of color\u2014Black, Indigenous, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Latina, mixed race, and others as well as non-cisgender women, the elderly, those with disabilities, and immigrants.<\/p>\n

In December 2020, in the depths of the shut-down, it was reported that while there were economic gains, in the middle of a pandemic economy, net job losses were going to women. Women have carried the brunt of the economic pain.<\/p>\n

So how will women rebuild? What can we do, countywide, to shoulder and unload the burden?<\/p>\n
