Dear friends and partners,
Warm greetings from the Center for Women’s Resources!
The COVID-19 pandemic is putting enormous stress on everyone but especially on women and other vulnerable groups. The lockdown imposed has adversely affected the socio-economic conditions of women, depriving them of their source of income and livelihood. Without immediate economic support and services from the government, women are faced with multiple difficulties of finding alternative sources of living, keeping the family safe and healthy, multiple burden, among others. These narratives, the daily anxieties of women, are often left untold.
In this light, the Center for Women’s Resources (CWR), GABRIELA, and Voices of Women for Justice and Peace (VOWJP) will be hosting an online discussion entitled Pandemic Tales: Untold Stories of Women During the Lockdown. We invite you to listen to the stories of frontline workers, indigenous women, artists, and small food producers as they share their struggles and hopes amid the pandemic. Dr. Reginald Pamugas, psychiatrist, and Vice-Chair of Health Action for Human Rights will serve as main speaker to talk about the importance of collectively taking care of our mental health. Join us on May 20, 2020 (Wednesday) at 03:00 pm to 5:00 pm (PHL Time).
If you are interested to join the discussion, you may please register here: https://cwr1982.typeform.com/to/gIMuE7 until 11:00 am of May 20, 2020.
Only registered participants will receive webinar details from us.
In solidarity,
Cham Perez
