The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has issued a warning that a deepening debt crisis in developing countries is exacerbating gender inequality. According to the UNDP, women are facing substantial job losses, declining incomes, and deteriorating health conditions. This situation arises as governments are compelled to allocate funds away from critical areas such as health, social protection, and public services to meet debt repayment obligations. The redirection of these resources places a disproportionate burden on women, impacting their economic stability and overall well-being.
