14 A Guide to Open Government and the Coronavirus: Open Response + Open Recovery

Make digital citizen engagement inclusive: Government and civil society use of digital platforms for civic engagement, feedback, and co-creation is a natural solu- tion in this time of social-distancing. However, the digital gap can prevent certain communities from participating online, especially women, indigenous, rural and low-income communities, as well as persons with disabilities with visual or auditory restrictions. Understand the limitations of online deliberation in your community and consider specific outreach to key stakeholders, academia, and civil society groups where access is limited.

Address gender-based harassment and violence online: Virtual harassment, in- timidation and threats of violence can prevent women, LGBTQIA+ communities and persons , and otherwise marginalized or vulnerable communities from participating in online fora. These threats also have potential to translate into offline violence. Government and civil society partners should work together to assess potential threats, create codes of conduct and procedures for violation, designate escalation policies, and implement justice reforms as needed.

Examples The following examples are recent initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and are drawn from our crowdsourced list as well as partner materials.

Mexico: The National Autonomous University of Mexico created an online portal to house data, information, and recommendations related to gender and the global health crisis.

Croatia: The Croatian Ministry of Interior is working with civil society on the “Be- hind Closed Doors” campaign, which aims to increase reporting of domestic vio- lence cases during social distancing.

France: A civic tech organization created a website to connect healthcare workers assistance with childcare and groceries while working.

• The French government will pay for 20,000 hotel nights for victims of domestic abuse and will create pop-up counselling centers at stores in order for women to seek help while they run errands.

Argentina: Several legal organizations and universities have created a website that provides legal resources in the context of the pandemic to vulnerable groups, including information on reproductive legal rights.

United Kingdom: Global Health 5050 has compiled a COVID-19 sex- disaggregated data tracker that includes country-level data related to cases, deaths, hospitalizations, and cases among healthcare workers disaggregated by age and sex.

Hawaii, United States: The state’s Commission on the Status of Women created a Feminist Economic Recovery Plan for COVID-19 in collaboration with stakeholder communities to rebuild post-crisis with policies that address longstanding gender inequities.

Nepal: NGO Humanity & Inclusion is making COVID-19 prevention messages ac- cessible for people with disabilities.
