  • In the past year, the world witnessed a series of compounding crises including natural disasters due to climate change, violent conflicts, and large-scale displacement in addition to an ongoing global pandemic.
  • COVID-19 already caused stress on gender parity, and academics are now calling for the need to study the impact of the ongoing energy crisis in Europe on the pay disparity between men and women.
