The COVID-19 crisis created, and continues to produce, unprecedented challenges globally. Marginalized and racialized families, communities, and nations are experiencing their worst impacts, and in particular, women and girls are the hardest hit. The most pressing concerns raised by COVID-19 include a surge in gender-based violence, a rise in care burden, the feminization of poverty, and growing unemployment, largely in the Global South and conflict-affected regions. Drawing on feminist security studies and intersectionality literature, this forum explores gendered risks in the COVID-19 era, focusing on the security of women and girls from racialized and marginalized backgrounds in both the Global North and South. This forum presents seven short papers providing rich data on a range of case studies that include Yemen, Sri Lanka, Liberia, Canada, India, and Burundi. The contributions draw attention to the multilayered, diverse, intersectional, complex, and contextual gendered risks associated with the pandemic. The through line themes of intersectional identities, patriarchy, conflict, post-conflict, militarization, and marginalization are used to illustrate how gendered risks are (re)constructed during and after the COVID-19 crisis. This forum launched what we hope will offer a new research agenda and support to provide scholarly terrain for future research. This forum section not only provides insights into the vast and complex gendered impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic but also sparks broader thinking about everyday forms of insecurity that women and girls face in global crises.

大流行中的明信片：全球 COVID-19 大流行中的女性、交叉性和性别风险


COVID-19 危机在全球范围内造成并将继续带来前所未有的挑战。边缘化和种族化的家庭、社区和国家正在遭受最严重的影响，尤其是妇女和女童受到的打击最严重。COVID-19 引发的最紧迫问题包括基于性别的暴力激增、护理负担增加、贫困女性化和失业率上升，主要发生在全球南方和受冲突影响的地区。该论坛借鉴女权主义安全研究和交叉性文献，探讨了 COVID-19 时代的性别风险，重点关注全球北方和南方来自种族化和边缘化背景的妇女和女孩的安全。该论坛发表了七篇短文，提供了有关也门、斯里兰卡、利比里亚、加拿大、印度和布隆迪等一系列案例研究的丰富数据。这些贡献引起了人们对与大流行相关的多层次、多样化、交叉、复杂和背景性别风险的关注。交叉身份、父权制、冲突、冲突后、军事化和边缘化等贯穿线主题用于说明 COVID-19 危机期间和之后如何（重新）构建性别风险。该论坛启动了我们希望能提供新的研究议程和支持，为未来的研究提供学术领域。该论坛部分不仅提供了对 COVID-19 大流行广泛而复杂的性别影响的见解，还激发了对妇女和女孩在全球危机中面临的日常不安全形式的更广泛思考。
