This note analyses the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on women's rights in France: Domestic violence has increased; access to contraception and abortion rights have been impacted; the care professions have been devalued even though they are on the front line; employment has been made more insecure; mental health has been affected; and women's representation has been lacking in the decision-making bodies that managed the crisis. While the public authorities took action, the response to the management of the crisis was not always appropriate or commensurate with the urgency of women's needs. Despite government measures, the unprecedented nature of the pandemic gave rise to responses that were not always equal to the urgency of women's needs. Finally, on the economic and social levels, the long-term consequences include a further deepening of the structural gender inequalities in society. In order to respond to these challenges, various levers can be mobilised, such as the aggregation of gendered data, an increase in funding dedicated to women's rights, or "egalitarianism" to deploy the gender dimension in all public policies.
