Corona perspectives: Covid-19 and vulnerable children
While the viral pandemic rarely affects children, the economic crisis that follows in its wake is likely to be especially hard on this group. This article from The Guardian discusses how children's needs and rights are likely to be severely compromised in the years to come. This post also links to one of the main sources of the article: a report from KidsRights.

Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies monitors the Covid-19 pandemic
There is little doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic affects communities and nations across the world in different ways, and that the world’s poor are going to experience this crisis much more keenly than people belonging to affluent communities. As a postcolonial research centre, Linnaeus University Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies will help monitor the development of the crisis. At the centre's web page above, you will find research and opinion pieces that highlight the dispersed and uneven impact of the crisis in Swedish and global society.
Our aim is that articles that we refer to should be open to the public. However, we cannot guarantee that all articles will be, as media companies' policies and the availability of individual articles may change over time.
