Two men kiss during the annual Pride parade along Paulista avenue in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on June 23, 2019. Over the last few weeks, people around the world joined together in marches and colorful celebrations to commemorate LGBTQ Pride Month. And with more cities and countries now recognizing and ruling in favor of same-sex marriage and LGBTQ rights, there has been much to celebrate. In the past year, India’s government repealed colonial-era laws that criminalized gay sex, the first openly gay governor, Jared Polis, was elected in the United States, Botswana overturned laws criminalizing gay sex, Bhutan’s lower house of parliament recently passed a bill to do the same, and Ecuador became the latest country to legalize same-sex marriage. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City, when police stormed a gay club in Greenwich Village called the Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969. In honor of Stonewall, World Pride is being held in the United States for the first time, hosted by New York City. As World Pride kicks off this weekend, take a look a more joyous and colorful images from Pride Month celebrations held around the world at this link. ⁠(📷:Nelson Antoine/AP)

A woman takes part in a Pride parade in Bucharest, Romania, on June 22, 2019. People taking part in the Pride parade demanded more rights and acceptance for same-sex couples and celebrated 18 years since homosexuality, which used to be a crime according to a law in the country's Communist era, was de-criminalized.

Mohamed Salah — red talisman, record-breaking goalscorer, “Egyptian King,” and now European champion — has already lived several lifetimes of memories with the Liverpool fans who revere him. But as one of the world’s most famous footballers who happens to be Muslim, his legendary popularity has seemingly led to an unexpected result: Islamophobic hate crimes have reportedly fallen since he became a Liverpool player. An academic paper from Stanford University’s Immigration Policy Lab researched whether Salah’s faith had influenced Islamophobia in Merseyside, the British county home to Liverpool Football Club. The paper, published on May 30, having surveyed 8,060 Liverpool supporters, investigated 936 hate crimes from 25 police departments in the region, and examined 15 million tweets sent from football fans in the UK since Salah signed for the club. The results were positive: a 18.9% drop in hate crimes — while anti-Muslim tweets fell by half, from 7.2% 3.4%. “The survey experiment suggests that these results may be driven by increased familiarity with Islam,” the Stanford paper stated. “These findings suggest that positive exposure to outgroup celebrities can reveal new and humanizing information about the group at large, reducing prejudiced attitudes and behaviors.” Go to this link to read more about Salah's influence in the UK. ⠀ ⠀ (📷: Felipe Dana/AP)

Apply a gender-responsive lens to the recovery to effectively address underlying issues of gender inequality.

The pandemic has clearly led to gender-differentiated impacts, exposing women to poverty and inequalities. Labour market inequalities are visible in the wage gap between women and men, the high proportion of women in vulnerable employment in the informal economy, and the disproportionate burden of unpaid work which falls to women and girls. Intersectional gender analysis can be conducted across all plans and actions to better assess financial and social distributional impacts. Gender-sensitive emergency response measures that deliver decent wages and working conditions for women and men are being implemented in Hawaii, under a feminist economic recovery plan that seeks to build an economic system capable of delivering gender equality.
