This case study examines the leadership and participation of organisations working on issues affecting women in COVID-19 recovery planning in Chiang Rai province, Thailand. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities and challenges faced by women, migrant workers and other marginalised groups in Thailand. However, examples of leadership by organisations working on issues affecting women during the COVID-19 response exist, and there are opportunities to build on them in the ongoing recovery from COVID-19.
The study focuses on the ways in which organisations working on issues affecting women lead and participate in government- led COVID-19 recovery planning in Chiang Rai, Thailand, the barriers they face, and some of the good practices that can be supported and scaled up to support their efforts.
