Thank you for your response. It is reassuring to note that, despite the crisis, the overall funding of the organization has not been unduly affected. However, I hear your appeal that the needs will be even greater and that the international community will have to be more generous.
You and Mr. Spicer emphasized the impact of COVID-19 on sexual health and nutrition issues, which are often interrelated. Dr. Kanem, you explained that this was largely due to the fact that children, for example, were confined to their homes rather than going to school, had less access to the health care system, and so on.
I'd like you to explain this to me, if only to help the people listening to us understand the situation: once confined to their home, what happens that did not happen when girls went to school, for example? It's the same family environment, the same family members. What is changing in the dynamics so that we see an increase in malnutrition, forced marriages and genital mutilation? What is happening?
