Earlier this year, the Fiji Women’s Rights Movement conducted a small-scale rapid assessment on the impact of COVID-19 on young women and girls in Fiji. The assessment, conducted via an online survey and phone interviews, focused on young women and girls’ coping strategies as well as their experiences at home and in their professional/academic lives.
