This article contains a feminist analysis of public policy responses and social protections implemented in many countries during the COVID-19 pandemic using a conceptualization of care based on paid and unpaid care and domestic work. Women and girls have been historically performing the work in the care services sector and were heavily impacted by social protections and sanitary restrictions put in place in a great number of countries during the pandemic. The article includes recommendations to build more effective and inclusive social protection systems.
