Une contribution de l’Institut d’Asie Orientale sur l’Indonésie par Samia Kotele, Rémy Madinier et Andar Nubowo. Trois grands domaines sont analysés : l’opposition entre un gouvernement central et des pouvoirs locaux très concernés par la santé de leurs administrés ; le second touche à la question du sort des femmes dans cette crise ; le troisième est celui du rôle de l’islam.
Policies and public health efforts have not addressed the gendered impacts of disease outbreaks. The response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) appears no different. We are not aware of any gender analysis of the outbreak by global health institutions or governments in affected countries or in preparedness phases. Recognising the extent to which disease outbreaks affect women and men differently is a fundamental step to understanding the primary and secondary effects of a health emergency on different individuals and communities, and for creating effective, equitable policies and interventions.
The majority of medical staff in China’s hospitals are women, and during the coronavirus (covid-19) outbreak, it has been women who have been at the forefront of the battle to contain the epidemic.
