Implementing research within the COVID-19 pandemic is critical, both for understanding how to combat this disease, but also to learn for potential future outbreaks. The ability to undertake research should be equitable across the globe and we need to engage in all types of studies across all settings and care contexts.
The aim of this hub is to ensure that research teams can find the support, tools, resources and guidance that they need to aid their studies during this rapidly evolving situation. Using shared and open protocols and tools can raise research standards and enable easier and better data sharing.

Violence against women remains a major threat to global public health and women’s health during emergencies. It is the most common form of violence.
Violence against women tends to increase during every type of emergency, including epidemics. Older women and women with disabilities are likely to have additional risks and needs. Women who are displaced, refugees, and living in conflict-affected areas are particularly vulnerable.
