Barlow, M. , Grugel, J., Lines, T., Eugenia Giraudo, M. and Omukuti, J. (2022) The Gendered Face of COVID-19 in the Global South: The Development, Gender and Health Nexus. Bristol University Press. ISBN 9781529218831

Abstract

In this important book, experts assess what the COVID-19 pandemic means for gender inequalities in the Global South, examining how threats to equitable development will impact the most marginalized and at-risk women and girls in particular. The book draws on research across sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America to examine COVID-19-related issues around gender-based violence, work and care, education and health care, and asks whether global responses are enough to mitigate the negative outcomes of deepening gender inequality. It is a guide to stimulate the important debate about how to promote women’s rights during the management and recovery phases of the pandemic.
