PHM-Exch> [PHM NEWS] conversations to deepen ourunderstanding of public health from a feminist perspective

[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Sarojini N B <sarojini at phmovement.org>

We have lived with a pandemic and its trials and tribulations for over a
year now. During this time, we have engaged on issues and concerns that
emerged from COVID 19 and responses to it at various levels, through
community action, research and education. Through these experiences of the
past year, we have seen how the pandemic has impacted several dimensions of
our lives, particularly marginalised lives.  At the same time, in many
ways, the responses to the pandemic have shaped and reinforced older
persisting  concerns.



We believe that a series of conversations to deepen our understanding of
public health from a feminist perspective are necessary. These will
introspect on the present moment while recognising its past linkages, and
attempting to make collective sense of the future.



The  conversations will deliberate on:

Our learnings from the past pandemics and the recent global outbreaks in
terms of global governance; Were past experiences similar or different from
the current COVID 19 context?

How have pandemics shaped the economic, social,  environmental, geo
political, and technological aspects of our lives?



Towards this, Sama Resource Group for Women & Health is initiating  a *series
of conversations* and  *the first *is on *“Pandemics & Public health:
Learnings from the Past & Present*” on 30th March 2021.
