Economically, the pandemic has hit women harder, as the sectors of industry most concentrated with female employment suffer the most. Moreover, for women of color the data is even bleaker. Throughout the COVID crisis, The Kota Alliance and other like-minded organizations have not stopped fighting to promote gender equality and shine light on the problems facing women today. Additionally, Kota Nest is the new home of The Kota Alliance! This will be our first center for Gender Equity and Women’s Empowerment. As our name implies, we are an Alliance – and our partner organizations will be the first to be welcomed here. In addition to collaborative work space, and space for classes and workshops, we plan fun events for the community of women supporters and our neighbors in Harlem.
