From the Margins to the Centre: Discourses on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Women in Uganda.

This publication, “From the Margins to the Centre” borrows from bell hooks’ seminal critique of mainstream feminism’s centering of white privileged women’s issues at the expense of non-white women. With this collection of essays, we attempt to render visible the voices and experiences of women in all their diversities, and to collate and amplify demands for a pandemic response and recovery that is time-bound, inclusive and gender-conscious. With this publication, we hope to shift women’s views and experiences from the margins to the centre. Borrowing from Adhurati Roy’s article “The pandemic is a portal”, we hope Covid-19 and all its related effects will cause the Government of Uganda and the wider global system to transition into new ways of governance.
