BAME women and Covid-19: research evidence, Fawcett Society

This analysis from the Fawcett Society — together with the Women ' s Budget Group, Queen Mary University London and London School of Economics — reveals the pressure on BAME women during the coronavirus lockdown. Forty-three per cent of disabled or retired BAME women and 48 per cent of BAME men say that they had lost government support compared with 13 per cent of white women and 21 per cent of white men. More than half (51 per cent) of BAME women say they were not sure where to turn for help compared with one in five (19 per cent) of white women. This is despite the fact that BAME people have been found to be more at risk during the pandemic.
