United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), on Wednesday, released data that projected millions of additional cases of gender-based violence, unintended pregnancies and loss of access to family planning in the upcoming months as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The significant impacts on women's health predicted by UNFPA's research was attributed to overloaded health systems, closure of facilities or limitation of services available for women and girls as well as individual decisions to skip important medical checkups over fears of contracting COVID-19.
