F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Event Description

There is mounting evidence that COVID-19 has gendered impacts. Women are bearing the brunt of the secondary effects of the pandemic, changes that are wrought by societal or political responses to the disease. It has impacted on a constellation of human rights – security and bodily integrity, freedom of movement, labour and education, and health and wellbeing.

This webinar is an opportunity to hear emerging evidence from the work of the Gender and COVID-19 project in Bangladesh, Kenya, and Nigeria. Researchers will speak alongside policy makers from their respective countries and provide both qualitative and quantitative evidence on the economic, social and health impacts of COVID-19 to support real-time decision-making. The panelists will make links to existing policy and programming and suggest ways that the pandemic response and recovery can become more gender-responsive.

The event will be useful to policy, funder, civil society and academic audiences. We’d love to connect with you and find out how our research can best meet your needs.
