What is your pandemic story?
Updated: Feb 23, 2022
People around the world are grappling with how to respond to the emergency. In many countries, militarization and authoritarianism was the answer which doubled or even tripled the burden for many marginalized people. All over the world abuse and violence against women have worsened, the limited government services available for women victims of abuse, have become scarce and near zero. Add to this is the mounting cases of VAW committed by state forces targeting women and people who are questioning the governments’ fascism amidst the pandemic. This is magnified in the lives of women struggling daily to survive.
On the other hand, the pandemic also is exposing people who have remained ‘neutral’ or silent in the past against capitalism, patriarchy, fascism, casteism, racism.
Women are taking a stand and transforming their experiences into action, uniting their communities, and rising up as leaders to build solidarity and movements.
On the 10th year anniversary of the International Women’s Alliance, an anti-imperialist grassroots-based organization, we will be highlighting women’s stories, their struggles, their strengths, and their resistance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
