IEL Collective Events

The Covid-19 crisis has exposed deep inequalities embedded in national and international socio-economic systems and legal frameworks. Over-stretched social services and an over-reliance on unpaid and precarious labour compensate for the inadequacies of social infrastructure, economic policies and labour regulation, instead of inspiring more social justice-driven approaches. The crisis offers an opportunity to identify the limits of such systems and reimagine the policies that shape them. This project aims to collectively reimagine a feminist recovery plan for Covid-19 and beyond by placing grassroots activism and social reproduction labour at the centre of policy-making, learning from the past and looking at the future.

This workshop will bring together activists, academics and policy-makers to reflect on how a feminist recovery plan that values social reproduction work might look like. It will see feminist experts from around the world who have been at the forefront of discussions on the inequalities exposed and exacerbated by the Covid-19 crisis. We will collectively reflect on what we can learn from feminist activism and reimagine a reparative and redistributive recovery plan for Covid-19 and beyond.
