The Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the lives and livelihoods of women globally. This research clearly demonstrates that women affected by crisis and displacement have been hit by a ‘triple disadvantage’ of Covid-19, displacement and gender discrimination. Findings from research in Jordan, Greece and Nigeria evidence clear gender differences in the ability to earn an income, be  mployed in salaried formal work and take on responsibility for unpaid care work throughout the pandemic, with women hit hardest. Key barriers to economic opportunities include restrictions on freedom of movement and access to financial services, formal employment and social protection. Despite this ‘triple disadvantage’, the specific challenges facing women affected by crisis and displacement  are rarely a policy focus. Policy and financing aimed at furthering women’s economic empowerment have gathered pace and made progress in addressing intersecting inequalities in recent years. Yet the pandemic  has revealed the shortcomings of current policy approaches, which remain inadequate to meaningfully and comprehensively further economic inclusion for women affected by crisis and displacement who have experienced exacerbated challenges and inequality as a result of the crisis.
