I published the first edition of my Gender Retrospective report last December on the cusp of what would become one of the most tumultuous, destabilizing years this generation has ever seen. Little did I know that the ten intersectional gender equity trends I had uncovered after weeks of assiduous research would take on entirely new dimensions in the wake of COVID-19.
While the validity of each trend holds today, it’s worth exploring how the pandemic impacted them. And more importantly, it’s worth exploring how the events of 2020 will influence our trajectory toward intersectional gender equity.
