Our coronavirus show is ongoing. Day 16
As living in poverty usually implies a greater exposure to COVID-19 and its economic impact, the crisis is, in effect, also bringing about a vicious cycle between growing poverty and inequality. Indeed, the most vulnerable have been hit the hardest by both lockdowns and the direct health threat of the pandemic.
Today we invited Suzana, she will share with us the challenges she faces during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Introduction
My name is Suzana
Why are you in these situations?
My husband doesn't work, so I'm asking for alms on the street.
How many children do you have?
I have 6 children, I am here with 2 the other 4 stayed at home.
Do your children study?
No, my kids don't study, we don't have possibilities to support them.
How has Covid-19 affected your life?
Very difficult, we are scraped. My children used to study, but now things have gotten more complicated.
Moreover, our house is not in such favorable conditions to live.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected vulnerable communities globally, and poor women are among those groups severely affected. Children in poor households also suffer disproportionally from the closure of schools, as they miss out on essential school meals and may find it harder to access digital learning in oftentimes overcrowded and poorly connected environments. In addition, girls may be required to take care of their younger siblings thereby missing school.
This is the first and the only Coronavirus show in Angola where the most ordinary citizens show their brilliant talents.
The heroes of the program are the most ordinary citizens - they share with the audience their songs, poems and real stories of how the Coronavirus pandemic affected their lives.
We launched the “Corona Voice show” campaign to provide a space for young women and men around Angola to share their views, experiences and initiatives.
