COVID and gender in the Middle East
edited by Rita Stephan
"As COVID-19 has ravaged the globe, gender inequalities have often been brought to the forefront of the struggle. Stephan has put together a volume looking at various issues that women have been facing in the Middle East and North Africa during the pandemic. She and her contributors examine both the struggles that women have faced in various aspects, as well as policies that have been put in place to help them and how these policies have worked. They are focused on three broad areas-health and safety risks, economic fallout, and social impact. The volume first provides an overview of problems in the MENA region and looks at issue-based topics such as toxic masculinity and resistance to wearing masks, media analyses, and educational opportunities. It then provides country-specific studies on topics such as the confluence of the pandemic, the dock explosion, and an economic downturn in Lebanon; COVID among Syrian refugees; and the struggle of Palestinians to receive adequate healthcare."
