Care-economy

Oksana Potapova spoke with activists working for women's and human rights organizations about key changes in their work and life over the recent months.

The crisis associated with the Covid19 pandemic has a gender, and clearly shows social inequalities of all kinds. It particularly affects women, as well as disadvantaged and variously marginalised groups. There are also attempts to exploit the pandemic for short-term political goals directly targeting women's rights.

The coronavirus epidemic exposes the care crisis and underlying class and regional inequalities — which the new strategy does not equip us to handle.
