Hello, everyone.

Thank you to the witnesses for being here and for your presentations.

My question is for Pink Attitude Evolution. You guys talked about the unemployment rate being 20%-plus among South Asian women, despite the fact that they are very educated, have their degrees and are much younger. My question is this: How, if at all, has the pandemic induced an economic downturn that is affecting South Asian women differently from men?
