“…The crisis has resulted in massive job losses, shrinking economies, and loss of livelihoods. This was especially true for women, and weakened social protection systems left many of the poorest members of society unattended [17]. With economic activity plummeting, women were particularly vulnerable to layoffs and loss of livelihood.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the expectations of the inhabitants of south-eastern Poland in relation to the main trends emerging in the energy market, in a specific crisis situation resulting from the response to COVID-19. The time range of the research covered the period from March to December 2022, i.e., the time just after the official easing of the most drastic restrictions related to COVID-19 in Poland. The CAWI method was used in the study. Access to the survey form was granted to several dozen people, who invited other respondents to participate in the survey. A total of 732 questionnaires were collected, of which 637 were verified, meeting the research assumptions regarding the place of residence of the respondents. The study was correlational in nature, as it looked for relationships between the examined features, without the possibility of influencing the level of individual variables. As the study used non-probability sampling, the inferences apply only to the study group. Two research questions were formulated: (1) Did the COVID-19 crisis shape the expectations of the inhabitants of south-eastern Poland regarding the energy market, and were these expectations consistent with the policies of the state and the European Union? (2) Were perceptions of the energy market and social phenomena differentiated in terms of sex, place of residence, and type of heating in the respondent’s apartments? Statistical analyses of the collected material were performed using Statistica13.3 and MS Excel 19. The greatest support among respondents was recorded for the optimal use of the country’s own energy resources, and the development of energy networks, in conjunction with the expansion of its own energy potential, and improvement of energy efficiency. Respondents confirmed the need to increase the use of renewable energy sources. However, the EU trend of abandoning electricity production in nuclear power plants was not confirmed. This is also evidenced by Poland’s energy policy, which emphasizes the development of the nuclear energy market. Men were more positive than women about the implementation of nuclear energy in Poland. Women rated the development of RES use higher than men. Both women and men had a more positive attitude toward renewable energy than toward nuclear energy. Respondents living in rural areas assessed the development of RES higher and showed greater interest in increasing energy efficiency. The limitations of this study are that all the variables were measured simultaneously, so the study is cross-sectional, and additional attention may need to be paid to other causes of the studied phenomena.

“…Finally, COVID-19 disproportionately impacted older adults' lives, many of whom either feared dying or became depressed due to isolation. It wreaked havoc on the lives of women and girls, with many falling into poverty, losing access to healthcare, and experiencing gender-based violence due to the inability to separate from their perpetrators (Gaba et al, 2022). It caused children and youth to lose access to education, interaction with peers, and access to nutritious food, which was their only source of food (HLCP, 2020).…”

“…These workers, mostly from already marginalized groups, were placed at greater risk of contracting the virus and spreading it to family members. For children, many were unable to continue their education due to lack of access to the internet, making them vulnerable to being exploited with girls often becoming victims of gender-based violence (Gaba et al., 2022). Finally, for many individuals living in communities around the world where access to clean water and sanitation had already been problematic prior to the pandemic, the ability to comply with public health measures and to wash their hands frequently was not feasible (United Nations, 2020b, High-level Committee on Programmes (HLCP), 2020).…”

Abstract. In 2020, the United Nations celebrated its 75th anniversary. The celebration marked the founding of the UN Charter and reminded the world that this intergovernmental organization, created in the aftermath of World War II, was envisioned as an institution to safeguard humanity, and extend the protection and promotion of human rights, peace and security, the rule of law, and development. The anniversary also came against the backdrop of a world teetering on the brink of disaster – the COVID-19 pandemic. The UN Secretary-General described the COVID-19 pandemic as a global crisis that threatened to reverse decades of progress made in eradicating poverty, thereby exacerbating inequality and the progress made toward the Sustainable Development Goals. What began as a public health crisis quickly morphed into an economic, health, and human rights disaster. For many individuals and communities already lacking access to resources, the pandemic disproportionally impacted their right to live, their right to health and access to healthcare, and challenged their freedom to move around safely. As we continue to confront the challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are reminded of the role psychology can play in helping us understand how our attitudes and behaviors shape our responses and support the work of rebuilding a more equitable society shaped through the lens of human rights. This paper aimed to illustrate the contributions of psychological science during the current pandemic and envision the field's future impacts to promote human rights and the UN's 2030 global agenda on sustainable development.
