Join us for a roundtable conversation with and between feminist activists and scholars from the Caribbean and Latin America, Gabrielle Hosein and Betilde Muñoz-Pogossian, and from the Middle East, Lina Abou-Habib and Mozn Hassan.
Feminists all over the world have responded to and mobilized to address the wide-ranging inequalities and forms of gender-based violence exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Women have been disproportionately affected in terms of unemployment, limited access to adequate health care, political marginalization, and increasing and intensified forms of gender-based violence. What are feminists challenging, what are they concretely suggesting and what are their strategies, especially in terms of collaboration with national governments, international organizations, and transnational feminist campaigns? This webinar aims to discuss feminist mobilization and strategies at the time of COVID-19 in relation to Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. The idea is to look at both specificities and similarities in feminist struggles during this challenging period.
This event is a collaboration between the Center for Middle East Studies and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
