Why African women and girls’ voices are not heard in the fight against COVID-19
Abstrak
ABSTRACT COVID-19 has gravely impacted people of all backgrounds, races, geographic areas, sexes, and socioeconomic classes. Yet, the pandemic disproportionately affects indigenous African women’s health and lives, threatening the strides made towards gender equality. Despite the enormous contributions of women during health crises, African women’s voices remain underrepresented in decision-making and leadership because of ascribed gender roles, the unrecognition of women’s community politics role, and the lack of access to political resources. A necessary shift to inclusive decision-making especially during health crises like COVID-19 requires a shift and prioritization of women’s overlooked and underrated roles as decision-makers, political, and senior leaders.
