They negatively and disproportionately affect routine medical treatments; vaccination programmes; access to maternity and neo-natal care; child learning and socialization; women's caring responsibilities; gender-based socioeconomic differences; and rates of domestic violence, all while accelerating existing trends towards political authoritarianism and damaging democratic processes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn offering in-depth perspectives on all these problems, this book ultimately challenges practitioners to include Southern perspectives in future emergency response-planning, and it develops both global and multidisciplinary paradigms to guide them in their efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAleida Mendes Borges\u003c\/b\u003e leads the Grassroots Women Leaders research stream at the Global Institute for Women's Leadership (GIWL), Kings College London, UK.
