CCFWG recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has consequences not only to our own operations, but to many others, including our grantees as they work to keep vital services intact. Families on the margin will also be affected as they work to keep their family members healthy and safe while financially staying afloat. 

Here we share some relevant resources and articles related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on women and girls. We are constantly examining how we can be responsive and supportive, and will continue updating this list moving forward.

If you have questions about the information shared below, or have a suggested resource or article to contribute to this archive, please email mkelly@ccfwg.org. We hope you find this information helpful and informative in the weeks ahead.
