Coronavirus harms gender equality
新冠疫情導致“女性衰退”

Economic and domestic turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could wipe out 25 years of increasing gender equality, new United Nations data suggests.
聯合國的新數據顯示，全球新冠疫情造成的經濟和國內動盪可能會導致25年的兩性平等成果化爲烏有。

Lockdowns, job losses, school closures and dwindling income from the coronavirus have seen women take on significantly greater shares of housework and childcare. Employment and education opportunities are likely to be lost, and women may suffer from poorer mental and physical health.
新冠病毒造成了封鎖、失業、學校停課以及收入減少等問題，使女性承擔的家務和育兒的工作量大幅增加，她們可能喪失就業和教育機會，身心健康可能變差。

"Everything we worked for, that has taken 25 years, could be lost in a year," the UN Women deputy executive director Anita Bhatia told the BBC.
聯合國婦女署副總幹事安妮塔·巴蒂亞對英國廣播公司表示：“我們花了25年爲之努力的一切，可能在這一年之內就會失去。”

Women's new burden of care posed a "real risk of reverting to 1950s gender stereotypes,", she said.
她表示，(疫情帶來的)女性家庭護理負擔，將令性別平等面臨倒退回20世紀50年代時性別刻板印象的風險。
