“Totally Fixed Where We Are” – “Total Eclipse of the Heart” adapted by the Marsh Family Still stuck with all four kids at home until at least 8 March, and watching to see what impact the rollout of vaccines will have, versus the arrival of new strains of COVID-19. Hopefully we’re going to turn a corner soon. In the meantime, we opted to take the mickey out of a classic 80s power ballad.

Building gender-equitable economies in South Asia post-COVID-by Sofia ShakilDiya Nag and Fatima Laraib Source:Dailynews With over 30 million COVID-19 cases, South Asia currently finds itself in the midst of a devastating second wave of the pandemic. The region – already massively impacted in terms of lives and livelihoods in 2020 – has recently seen the number of cases double in just over a month. During the first wave, women were severely affected. In September 2020, UNDP estimated that the pandemic will see a three percent rise in the female poverty rate across the region, from 10 percent to 13 percent. In light of the second wave, this may well be an underestimate. Not only has the pandemic affected the regional economy of South Asia, its impact will see women worse off than before.
