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."

Paper: The 'invisible' among the marginalised: Do gender and intersectionality matter in COVID-19 response?

Dear community members,

Sharing my paper published in the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics : "The 'invisible' among the marginalised: Do gender and intersectionality matter in COVID-19 response?". The paper looks at the COVID-19 context and argues the critical need for gender and intersectionality in the design and implementation of policies and relief measures. To elucidate, the paper is contextualised in rural and tribal South Rajasthan and explains how gender-blind policies, faulty implementation have pushed women from these rural, tribal communities into ultravulnerability. Intersectionality is an essential approach that departs from homogeneity and uniform response to looking at intersections of different structures of power and emphasises the need for inclusive policy, finding the 'invisible' even among the marginalised.

Hope it offers insights for deliberations and dialogue. I will look forward to engaging with you.

Regards, 
Manisha
