COVID-19 and Feminism- Part 4

Covid recovery

Feminist approaches to COVID-19 response  

As of the end of June 2020, Coronavirus has infected over 10.7 million people perishing over 516 thousand across the world (Worldometers, 30 June 2020). Many developed and underdeveloped nations are undergoing one of the most challenging global health crises that have disrupted the world economy and unleashed primary structural incompetence. The COVID-19 virus has laid exposed the destructive legacy of neoliberalism in all its fractions and divisions. The biggest neoliberal economies- the US, UK, and even EU have failed its citizens through its callousness and clinging to its system.

The inefficacy of the world’s leading government to manage the virus even after seven months of its first appearance in China is a clear picture of lackluster in prioritizing its citizens’ needs. The containment measures mostly just required high alertness and immediate response to a broader extent strengthening universal health support systems and frontline activities. However, the tendency to capitalize health care system, competition of superiority over solidarity, the ‘herd-immunity’ strategy leaving the elderly, weak and those with fragile health as disposable, and the lack of inclusive, people-centric planning have all led to the disastrous recession promising collateral damages to most vulnerable groups of societies.

That is why this is a high time the world introduces feminist approaches to its system. We want a #feministbailout from the pandemic.

Apart from destructive health care management and a major economic crisis, the world also witnessed layers of horrific impacts on the poorest, socially and culturally marginalized, and indigenous and gender minorities across the world. The pandemic hit the hardest to the frontline workers comprising 70% of women in the health sector, the domestic sector, and informal economies. Women were bound to undertake an enormous amount of unpaid labor hampering their hard-earned economic status. Low-wage workers, migrant workers, and refugees are being the most direct victim to not only infection but also states’ negligence. As a result, World Bank projects, over 170 million, are likely to be additional poor populations in the world.

At the same time, while the pandemic highlighted disruptive features of current governance that put masculine features like aggression, forcefulness, and surveillance strategy on a pedestal, it also brought to light the necessity and efficacy of feminine power in leadership. The responsive measures undertaken by countries such as Germany, New Zealand, Taiwan and Finland with female leaders and their success in containing the pandemic altogether has been a breakthrough validation for having more women in a leadership position.

(More on how COVID-19 economic crisis affects women and different impacts of COVID 19 on women)

As such, there is a higher need for a model that puts people from all strata in the center and is responsive to environmental and social needs. A model that upholds human rights and climate justice. A model that is equal to women. A model that recognizes the underlying gender-based and racial disparities and its impact on national economies. A model that is sustainable, green, and just that smashes patriarchy and unequal power distribution. As we find ourselves in a critical stance with a need of not just response and recovery, but also for a high chance to bring significant model reformation, we want a model that is feminist.

Some key factors to ensure feminism in recovery model are:

  1. Based on Equality

First and foremost, the reformed model should lie on the ground of equality, the belief system that every individual, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual identity, religion, disability, age, or social status, is valuable and entitled to fundamental human rights. The feminist model should acknowledge the range of inequities prevailing in society and bring up measures uplifting the marginalized ones while securing equality for every group of people.

  1. Acknowledge different levels of impact of the pandemic in different groups of people.

Further, on the road to recovery from the pandemic, the approaches to be undertaken by governments must realize that the virus has hit some people harder than others. Women, people with disabilities, people without a safe home, frontline workers, and those working in exploitative working conditions are among the most affected ones. Simultaneously, the economic crisis has also resulted in a higher impact on women and marginalized people with more job loss and less economic security. The recovery approach must ensure proper integration plans to the economic market for those who have suffered the most. Some of the ways include prioritizing vulnerable communities for work, providing insurance, social security, and benefits in all kinds of works, government’s support policies to startups and local businesses to enhance sustainability, and ensuring paid sick leave for workers and funding emergency child care for all workers.

  1. Ensure the safety of women and children from all kinds of sexual and physical violence

Now, more than ever, more robust policy and legal provisions are required to tackle the increasing rate of sexual and physical violence against women, girls, and children. The feminist approach must ensure to build a system of safety where all rounds of institutions- health, legal, social, and educational must conspire to build an environment free of violence. The approach must aim to mitigate the endemic-caused violence impacts while focusing on building a sustainable system where the victim gets proper justice, physical and psychological support, and boys and men are sensitized about toxic masculinity and rape culture.

  1. Put the environment and climate justice on top.

The neoliberal-capitalistic system has contributed to the catastrophic climate change, with each year getting hotter than the previous and the world’s poor and vulnerable groups experiencing the impacts unevenly. The global warming caused by the overall economic system based on massive carbon-emitting industries will make the earth inhabitable by 2070, researchers claim. As such, the post-corona world must be envisioned climate-friendly and non-negotiable sustainability measures. The recovery model must ensure environmental safety and promoting zero-emissions and zero-waste. There is the need of approach where economic development complement and contribute to the nature protection and conservation rather than destruction.

    This is a program for people with physical medical disabilities who qualify for ‘nursing-home level care’. This is not strictly a housing program! NHTD provides the at-home services needed to live in the community and a housing voucher is one of those services. To apply, call the Regional Resource Development Center (RRDC) and request an NHTD application. Once processed, a Visiting Nurse will be assigned to meet with the applicant to determine their eligibility. Once approved, the applicant will be given a list of local providers to choose from. The local provider will do an assessment of their needs and then apply for the housing voucher. DETROIT – Mayor Mike Duggan, Council President Mary Sheffield and LISC Detroit joined developer JacobsStreet LLC today to celebrate the opening of the latest affordable housing development to tap the Detroit Housing for the Future Fund (DHFF), which helps developers bridge financial gaps in their efforts to create and renovate quality affordable housing options in neighborhoods across the city.

    A quitclaim deed is a document that transfers ownership of a property from a grantor to a grantee. Unlike covenant or warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds do not ensure a clear title. Having no guarantee means the grantor is not liable for any problems or claims that may arise after the transfer. Regardless of the risks to the grantee or buyer, quitclaim deeds are allowed in Michigan since they can be utilized in instances where no warranty is required. There is no such thing as a quick claim deed. Nor is there a quit claim deed. The law defines it as one word: quitclaim. But these other terms (particularly quickclaim deed) are often used by non-lawyers. The process can be quick, but it isn’t a quickclaim deed. It is a quitclaim deed, or QCD. Another potential drawback of a quitclaim deed is that it can be difficult to file in Tennessee. Unlike many other states, Tennessee has no central repository for these documents, which means it is up to the grantor and grantee to ensure the deed is properly filed and registered with the county clerk’s office. Additionally, filing a quitclaim deed in Tennessee can take a considerable time, as all documents must be reviewed and verified by the Register of Deeds before being accepted. Finally, some fees will be associated with filing a quitclaim deed in Tennessee.

    Leitung Kundenbetreuung 299,00 € 239,00 € Generell geht es um viel Geld. Sehr viel Geld. Aktuell ist ein Bitcoin rund 24.000 Euro wert (Stand: 06.09.2023).

    Nach einer landesweiten Umfrage der Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) mit knapp 1300 Teilnehmern im August lehnen rund 70 Prozent der Salvadorianer das Bitcoin-Gesetz ab. Etwa gleich viele hatten demnach ungenaue Vorstellungen von Bitcoin: Nur 4,8 Prozent der Befragten definierten sie korrekt als Kryptowährung. Die Regierung verteidigt die Einführung des Bitcoin als offizielle Währung gegenüber Kritikern. Finanzminister Alejandro Zelaya äußerte, dass Ergebnisse nicht “von heute auf morgen” zu erwarten seien. Präsident Bukele wies darauf hin, dass die Wiederherstellung der Tourismuswirtschaft zum Teil dem Bitcoin geschuldet sei. Bukele möchte den Bau des Krankenhauses mit den Erträgen aus dem Bitcoin-Trust finanzieren. Dafür “… verkaufen wir keine Bitcoin, sondern verwenden den USD-Teil des Trusts, da der Bitcoin-Teil jetzt mehr wert ist als bei dessen Gründung.”, erklärt der Präsident auf Twitter. Der im September aufgesetzte Bitcoin-Trust wurde mit 150 Millionen US-Dollar ausgestattet.
