距離疫情開始蔓延至今已有三個月的時間,過程中可看出各國皆有各自的防疫手段,同時也頒布許多相關政策,只為控制國內疫情以及確保國民的健康、經濟與人身安全得到保障。有些國家在疫情控管上表現亮眼,其領導人功不可沒,而這些優秀領導者的共通點是—她們皆為女性。CNN為此做了一篇特別報導,讓我們一起來看看「她們」怎麼做!
1. When Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen heard about a mysterious new virus infecting the citizens of Wuhan in December last year, she immediately ordered all planes arriving from Wuhan to be inspected. She then set up an epidemic command center, ramped up production of personal protective equipment such as face masks and restricted all flights from mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.

3. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern shut the borders to foreign visitors on March 19 and announced a four-week lockdown of the country on March 23, requiring all non-essential workers to stay at home except for grocery shopping or exercising nearby.

5. It’s too early to say definitively which leaders will emerge as having taken enough of the right steps to control the spread of coronavirus — and save lives. But the examples above show that a disproportionately large number of leaders who acted early and decisively were women.

- 同義字:become known, become visible
閱讀原文:
一直以來,女性被賦予的負面刻板印象包含做事不夠果斷、遇事不夠冷靜,仍然有許多人認為公司企業、國家政府的領導人須為男性才更令人放心。但就這次的新冠肺炎疫情而言,優秀的女性領導者們脫穎而出,向全世界證明她們的能力不容質疑,也帶動了世界對於兩性平權有了更進一步的體認。
