Feminism and gender issues

Summary

The feminist analysis of the pandemic examines ”primary housework,” the combination of remote working and domestic work, as well as increased domestic violence. What dynamics can this analysis bring to our social demands in order to make them levers of feminist struggle?

Description

The pandemic has highlighted the prominent role of women in this global crisis situation. Given the importance of the sectors in which most women were involved during the pandemic, the questions of the compatibility of private and work life, remote working, and the increased domestic and family violence caused by the pandemic, we ask what can be learned from a gendered approach to this crisis in order to make it a lever for feminist struggles and demands for social, feminist and ecological transformation.
