*NOT IN LOCKDOWN: VOICES AND STRUGGLES AGAINST GENDER, RACIAL AND SOCIAL
INJUSTICES*

*Date: 25th June 2020*

*Timings: 5.30 PM to 7 PM IST (GMT+5:30 Hrs)*

With each passing day in the unprecedented crisis situation around COVID 19
pandemic, we are being witness to pre-existing inequalities and injustices
that have been laid out around us. The resolve and strength of people’s
movements and resistance feel more pertinent today as ever felt in the
history of such struggles.

COVID 19 crisis and the "lockdown" has gendered impact in terms of workload
and reduced economic opportunities, lack of access to health facilities,
nutrition and increase in incidence of gender-based violence,
communalisation and racialisation along with stigma associated with COVID.

As committed to building people’s voices and movements on health for all,
the critical inter-linkages of gender and its intersectionality
with-social, economic and political determinants of health; identities of
race, caste, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation; varied geographies,
and contexts become an extremely important area to look into. Realising
that COVID 19 pandemic is foremost a concern of public health crisis, its
close association with human rights, social justice, and health equity have
been clearly visible across varied regions. We feel that sharing stories
and experiences of our resistance would give us more strength and
inspiration to learn from each other.
