A recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) highlights the gender disparities in healthcare and caregiving sectors, where women make up the majority but receive lower salaries and face job insecurity, violence, and harassment. The report shows that women also bear the brunt of unpaid caregiving roles. These inequalities are exacerbated by underinvestment in healthcare systems and a lack of representation in leadership positions. The COVID-19 pandemic has further worsened the situation, with female healthcare workers being more vulnerable to risks and violence. To address these issues, the WHO recommends improving working conditions, ensuring equal pay, and promoting gender equality in caregiving.
