What does a feminist approach to the Covid-19 vaccine rollout look like? The head of the Soul City Institute has the answer.
The head of the Soul City Institute is calling on the government to prioritise women and adolescent girls in its Covid-19 vaccine rollout plans.

“A response to Covid-19 needs to have a feminist response,” said Kodisang. “It needs to centre women, it needs to centre adolescent girls and it needs to centre children.”
