Migrant Workers Sprayed With Disinfectant In One Indian State

Migrant Workers Sprayed With Disinfectant In One Indian State New Delhi (CNN) The Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has sparked controversy after migrant workers, returning home during a nationwide coronavirus lockdown, were doused in bleach disinfectant used to sanitize buses. Video showed three people, dressed in protective gear, spraying the liquid directly on a group of Indian workers as they sat on the ground in the northern city of Bareilly. Social distancing is a privilege of the middle class.

For women and girls, vulnerabilities in the home, on the front lines of health care, and in the labor market must be addressed. Regardless of where one looks, it is women who bear most of the responsibility for holding societies together, be it at home, in health care, at school, or in caring for the elderly. In many countries, women perform these tasks without pay. Yet even when the work is carried out by professionals, those professions tend to be dominated by women, and they tend to pay less than male-dominated professions.
