I find myself thinking of girls worldwide who missed out on far more than she did thanks to the pandemic — especially the many girls who will never see their classrooms again.
As the COVID-19 crisis intensifies, women workers, especially those who are unmarried and in low-wage jobs, have been hit especially hard.
The proverbial bottom of American life being brought to light by the upending caused by COVID-19 is the reality that women’s labor is undervalued in and exploited by the capitalist system, and that the system grinds to a halt without women’s unpaid labor.
Stress, burnout, danger: The pandemic has only worsened existing crisis conditions for nurses and other health care workers.
On May 5, Democratic Representative Grace Meng of New York and Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii introduced the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act in response to the extreme increase in anti-Asian hate crimes over the last year.
I speak with my parents weekly; at first, I was incessantly worried about their safety in China, and now they are more worried about me, in the Midwestern U.S.
At a time when millions have experienced disruptions in their ways of working, traditional artisans — the original remote workers — offer lessons on the future of work.
There is a long list of actions the new administration and Congress should take for women and girls, but we can start with six things.
The pandemic-related lockdown has exacerbated the isolation of India’s queer youth.
Campaigning during the pandemic has forced candidates to innovate and improvise.
As the COVID-19 pandemic worsens food insecurity globally, community-based initiatives are stepping up.
As the global pandemic enters its eighth month, the impact on those experiencing domestic violence has continued to intensify, and services are stretched to the limit.
Despite the government's pre-emptive measures to curb violence against women under lockdown, gender-based crimes skyrocketed during the state-mandated quarantine.
Gender inequality and stringent cultural beliefs left women most vulnerable to the HIV epidemic. With the coronavirus, Malawi mustn't repeat the same mistakes.
The pandemic has further revealed how workers in the global garment industry — especially women, who make up nearly three-quarters of garment workers — are sacrificed as economic collateral, and how fast fashion prioritizes profits over people.
While Greece has slowly begun to reopen, overcrowded refugee camps on the Greek island of Lesbos are still under lockdown. And without government intervention, experts and activists say that residents there are just sitting ducks waiting for an outbreak of the coronavirus to sweep through the camps like wildfire.
As climate change and the pandemic inflate food sales, families in Kenya's slums, already sunken into poverty, are resorting to marrying off their young daughters.
Equal parenting has benefits for everyone involved. But to make these changes last, we need a cultural shift — and better family-friendly policies.
As reports of domestic and sexualized violence surge under lockdown in Nigeria, NGOs and government agencies must adapt their responses to meet the challenge.
Longstanding environmental policies are a factor in the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on communities of color.
During the pandemic, governments have been curtailing rights—but activists are fighting back.
Since India went under a strict countrywide lockdown, the mostly women who make their living selling flowers, fruits, and fish every day on thoroughfares and platforms don’t know how they’ll feed their families.
There is a long history of anti-Asian bigotry—and resistance—in the U.S.
Anti-choice protests were staged at clinics in North Carolina; Louisiana; Washington, D.C.; and Michigan, at which protesters similarly disregarded social distancing guidelines.
Despite their disproportionate vulnerability, the Indian government has largely ignored commercially sexually exploited people in its response to the coronavirus pandemic.
