Guest:

• V. Rajyalaxmi, (Sociologist)
• Lalitha Kumaramangalam, (Former Chairperson, National Commission for Women)
• Gotha Hari Priya Karthick, (Family Life Coach)

Topic Description:

The COVID-19 crisis has a potentially far-reaching, long-term negative impact on women and children around the world. The impact is likely to be devastating especially for children, even though they appear to have less severe symptoms and lower mortality rates than other age groups. More than 1.5 billion students are out of school. Widespread job and income loss and economic insecurity among families are likely to increase rates of child labor, sexual exploitation and child marriage. Stresses on families, particularly those living under quarantines and lockdowns, are increasing the incidence of domestic violence.
