Episode Synopsis

In this podcast episode of Power in Balance: Conversations on Sustainability and Justice, we will talk about gendered care work and crisis planning. When disasters occur, headlines often highlight the devastation, financial impact, and emergency reliefefforts. Hidden from the spotlight, however, is a criticalissue – a crisis that places an unequal strain on women and caregivers. The guests of this episode are Eleonora Banfi, head of the Al Nada Women's Studies unit at the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development, and Laura Del Duca, a policy fellow at SEI.
