Under emergency measures to curb the transmission of coronavirus, authorities in Panama restricted movement based on sex, allowing women to leave their homes on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, while men were permitted out on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The measure was designed to cut public presence in half and make policing compliance simpler. However, the gender-segregated lockdown sparked intense debate regarding enforcement, traditional gender roles, and the treatment of gender-diverse communities.
