How can we ensure that the COVID-19 crisis provides the wake-up call needed to accelerate and secure lasting gender equality?

What is your perspective about work-life balance and gender equality after the two-months summer vacations kids had?

I have the impression that work-life balance is a nice word to add to speeches or policies but in reality it should be practiced by every individual. Recognizing biases and being cognizant that people (men and women) need time off, these practices should come from the top by example. People with kids need to have timeoff to be with their children and we do not want to be at disadvantage. What is your perspective? what is your experience?
