Reviews

“The Girl in the Pandemic makes a unique and much-needed contribution to the scholarship on Girlhood Studies in times of crises in different global contexts and particularly including scholarship from the global south and north.” • Relebohile Moletsane, University of KwaZulu-Natal

“While the work is contextualized in the current pandemic, it has transferability to other pandemics and disasters. The data across the chapters are rich and interesting and present and represent the riveting, unchanging and changing story of girls and young women, from a range of country contexts, education contexts, cultural contexts, and religious contexts, enabling the reader to see for herself what is similar and different to her own context, but also how extensive and complex the problems for girls are.” • Naydene de Lange, Nelson Mandela University

Description

As seen in previous pandemics, girls and young women are particularly vulnerable as social issues such as homelessness, mental healthcare, access to education, and child labor are often exacerbated. The Girl in the Pandemic considers what academics, community activists, and those working in local, national, and global NGOs are learning about the lives of girls and young women during pandemics. Drawing from a range of responses during the pandemic including first person narratives, community ethnographies, and participatory action research, this collection offers a picture of how the COVID-19 pandemic played out in eight different countries.
