The Coronavirus Pandemic: Equity, Impacts and Global Fragile Communities

How has the pandemic changed places in the world already made fragile from violence or deprivation - places of armed conflict or refugees settlements, for example? How are women - often responsible for the bulk of caregiving - particularly affected? And how can we ensure equitable access to vaccines and therapeutics, once available, within the world’s most vulnerable communities? Jocelyn Kelly, director of the program on Gender, Rights and Resilience at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, discussed these issues and answered viewer questions during this Facebook Live Q&A with The World’s Elana Gordon.

Presented jointly by The Forum at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and The World from PRX & WGBH on August 11, 2020.
