03 Every life counts? Grief & rage
Channel: medico international
Date: 2022-01-27

Speakers: Djamila Ribeiro [BRA], Vanessa Thompson [GER]

The pandemic exposes the unevenly distributed experience of vulnerability: People who have to live under precarious conditions are much more affected than those who believe themselves to be in secure circumstances. In the crisis, the primacy of the economy is revealed, and in its wake the hierarchisation of life and its grievability. All the experienced losses do not remain without psychosocial consequences. Resistance and protest are forming globally: The Black Lives Matter movement, organised struggles of domestic workers or global patent campaigns are breaking the silence of an all too often indifferent public.
