This article is an expression of efforts to review the theoretical and empirical research findings on how multiple crises affected families and what international approaches to addressing gender inequalities are likely to contribute to the resilience of families in the face of challenges, recognising that as the world changes rapidly, families — and the roles of women and girls in them — change too, and that in crisis situations families are under a new range of pressures. Recognising that families do not exist in isolation and independently of other factors, institutions, phenomena — and that they cannot serve as shock buffers, it is to be expected that when economies collapse or public services become unavailable, it is women who take on the extra work to ensure the well-being of their families.
