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 India's slum dwellers, it will be impossible Ashok Gautam, a senior officer in charge of Covid-19 operations in Uttar Pradesh, told CNN as many as 5,000 people have been "publicly sprayed" when they arrived before they were allowed to disperse.

Why COVID-19 makes a compelling case for the wider integration of blockchain

Why COVID-19 Makes A Compelling Case For The Wider İntegration Of Blockchain The COVID-19 crisis has revealed a general lack of connectivity and data exchange built into our global supply chains.

What the COVID-19 pandemic tells us about gender equality

What the COVID-19 Pandemic Tells us About Gender Equality Women make up 70% of all health and social-services staff globally. Domestic, sexual and gender-based violence increases during crises. Women earn just 79 cents for every dollar men make. Given that the COVID-19 crisis affects men and women in different ways, measures to resolve it must take gender into account. 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. The COVID-19 crisis has thrown these gender-based differences into ...
