Abstract
The impact of COVID-19 brought into question the efficiency of the cur-rent system of response to the pandemic in the face of gender inequal-ity. The lack of a human rights-based approach to respond to the needs of feminized, non-heteronormative and impoverished bodies meant the death of thousands of people around the world, not only because of the virus, but because of a crisis of governance that was based on a pa-triarchal regime. The pandemic intensified important issues that were also ignored before the outbreak, among them the impact of the crises: economic, care and gender-based violence. For these reasons, this arti-cle seeks to make visible, from a gender and development perspective, how the COVID-19 pandemic and the government’s social, economic, and political responses to it increased inequality.
