Major disruptions to global economic, social and food systems have increased food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic and put at risk the health and wellbeing of millions of people around the world. The notable gender gap in food insecurity and hunger has widened during the pandemic – globally, and in every region worldwide, food insecurity prevalence is higher among women than men. The Gender and Covid-19 project presents “Food insecurity, hunger, gender, and COVID-19” webinar as a panel of international researchers and practitioners discuss the impacts of gender and the COVID-19 pandemic on hunger and food insecurity.  Moderator: Erica Rosser, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, United States Panelists: Brunah Schall, René Rachou Research Institute – Fiocruz Minas, Brazil Atonu Rabbani, BRAC James P Grant School of Public Health, BRAC University, Bangladesh Cecilia Fabrizio, Standing Together for Nutrition, The Micronutrient Forum, United States
