Abstract
While the acute and collective crisis from the pandemic is
over, an estimated 2.5million people died from COVID-19
in 2022, tens of millions suffer from long COVID and
national economies still reel from multiple deprivations
exacerbated by the pandemic. Sex and gender biases
deeply mark these evolving experiences of COVID-19,
impacting the quality of science and effectiveness
of the responses deployed. To galvanise change by
strengthening evidence-informed inclusion of sex and
gender in COVID-19 practice, we led a virtual collaboration
to articulate and prioritise gender and COVID-19 research
needs. In addition to standard prioritisation surveys,
feminist principles mindful of intersectional power
dynamics underpinned how we reviewed research gaps,
framed research questions and discussed emergent
findings.
