this among new findings from the goalkeepers report released by the bill and melinda gates foundationmarch of last year, french gates told me that women were in crisis as the pandemic dragged on. i asked her about the state of women now. take a listen to what she had to say. >> i would say still in crisis. women's livelihoods were destroyed by the pandemic. whether you were in the informal sector or whether you had a job, women are saying i can't do my job at the same intensity as before or at all if i don't have safe and affordable childcare. that is just a problem. we have pushed women out of the workforce and we have so many girls across the world who are not in school anymore. emily: how could a recession or prolonged economic downturn make this worse? >> inflation also makes it worse, right? that economic downturn, the fact that it is more expensive to get food or to get you'll means -- fuel means that we are already seeing more hunger around the world. and we are seeing because of the ukrainian prices -- crisis, there is less food. there are families in the state of hunger and p

i spoke this week with melinda french gates. r the record, the foundation is a funder of the newshour. melinda french gates, thank you very much for joining us. this report that you've issued this year, when you look at it, i have to say it's pretty discouraging. the foundation acknowledging that seven years into setting these goals with regard to poverty, malnutrition, health care, that the world -- and i'm reading it -- is on track to achieve almost none of them. what happened? melinda: well, we were making huge progress as a world pre-covid. so progress on poverty, malaria, childhood deaths. but then covid happened and it really set the world back both from the health shocks and the economic scarring that's there because of what happened to the world economy. judy: is that the whole explanation? melinda: well, it's not the whole explanation, particularly on the one related to gender, as i write about in the report on gender. the disease doesn't care about its biology. it doesn't really care about what gender you are. however,

like thank god for melinda gates. on her oh she make sure that there is in many ways this care movement that's thriving. and so so many of people are operating in these tiny budgets. there is a lot of starts and stuff, starts and stops. we should have a fully funded hundred million dollar sponsored by whoever. paid leave campaign. because if we don't, we're not going to get it because i actually think we did a bipartisan poll on this. republicans and democrats want this. there is the will for this. part of what i have found is we are looking into this more deeply is that it was really i think many other business coalitions that helped kill it. and there is the sense this narrative on the hill that it's too expensive, the government is not to do because companies are already providing it anyways. if you look at most of the data that's out there, whether it's a survey done by a consulting company. they'll say do offer paid leave or not? and so the check boxes yes or no. the check box is not for how long, who's taking it
