Our new perspective “Equality in the Time of Covid-19: Learning from Equality Body Initiatives” builds on previous Equinet work on rebuilding societies in a fair and equal way after Covid-19. It seeks to draw policy and practice learning from the body of work done by equality bodies in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the unequal and disproportionate impacts on certain groups and the resulting economic difficulties. This learning is rooted in current policy directions and equality strategies at EU level and takes account of the important role of EU funding for equality. The perspective sets out further directions for equality body practice and European and national policy based on this learning.
