title = "Law{\textquoteright}s invisible women: the unintended gendered consequences of the COVID-19 lockdown",
abstract = "This article examines the unintended gendered consequences of lockdown on women{\textquoteright}s rights, particularly those related to women{\textquoteright}s work, health and wellbeing. Situating this assessment within wider feminist legal scholarship, which exposes the gendered nature of law and the tendency to legislate in a way that prioritises a privileged male legal subject, we argue that legislation and subsequent decisions fail to centre women{\textquoteright}s lived experiences and so deprioritise women{\textquoteright}s needs. We ultimately argue that lessons need to be learned regarding how post-pandemic responses are implemented to mitigate the impacts on women and ensure gender is mainstreamed within the law-making process.",
