Gender justice in COVID-19 response

The news of a partner throwing out his wife out of main window when she had fever in the mid-night is perhaps a pick of gender based violence we can see happening inside families in times of COVID-19 crisis. In this Webinar, Dr Basundhara Bhattarai surveys the contours of escalated forms of violence and injustice against women in this pandemic time. Drawing on selected reviews of emerging reports and linking with her longstanding gender and international development research, Dr Basundhara Bhattarai will outline at least seven key dimensions of injustice that cannot be ignored in the current COVID-19 responses that we do at individual, family, community, organisational and the governmental levels.
