THE WOMEN’S HEALTH RESEARCH INSTITUTE’S COVID-19 STUDY
Investment Needed: $125,000

While no one is untouched by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we know from past epidemics that the lasting effects will disproportionately affect women.

The Women’s Health Research Institute (WHRI) is leading a ground-breaking study titled RESPPONSE (Rapid Evidence Study of a Provincial Population Based Cohort for Gender and Sex). They are examining two important topics: COVID-19’s prevalence in the population of BC; and how sex and gender intersect with the impacts of the public health measures.

Make a donation today to help support this vital research and ensure the pandemic does not exacerbate existing inequities already faced by women in BC.
