Women on the Frontlines: COVID and Beyond is a digital symposium examining the political, economic, social and legal status of women.
This digital symposium runs as a complement to an event hosted by the Cornell Law Review and co-sponsored by Ms. Magazine; the University of California, Irvine Center for Biotechnology and Global Health Policy; the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School; the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics; the American Society of Law, Medicine, & Ethics; and The Hastings Center.
The event and companion blog posts bring to light the ways women labor and lead at the forefront of society, constituting the foundation of essential workers, and performing critical services from child to medical care, while also suffering persistent economic constraints, health and death disparities, obstruction of rights, and troubling perceptions of expendability. For more, watch video from the event, “Women on the Frontlines: COVID and Beyond,” and read related posts published by Ms. Magazine.
