THE INEQUALITY VIRUS – How Coronavirus Preys on The Vulnerable

Coronavirus threatens us all. With each day, more of us are being
personally affected by coronavirus. Estimates now show that the
virus could kill millions of people. Hundreds more millions of
people could be pushed into poverty.

And it is clear how coronavirus is exposing and exploiting the
extreme inequality that defines our world – and preying on the
world’s most vulnerable people. 

EQUALS is a podcast about fighting inequality and building a fairer
world. 

The virus is on everyone’s minds and in the next few episodes we
want to give listeners perspectives that connect different issues
and explore the relationship between coronavirus and inequality:
from what it means for the world’s workers and what it means for
women, to the powerful role of public health systems and the
long-term impacts on our global economy. 

We bring you a mini-series all about coronavirus and
inequality. 

The mini-series kicks off this week with Max, Nadia and Nabil – the
co-hosts of the EQUALS podcast – taking a birds eye view of how the
many different facets of inequality are playing out with this
pandemic. 

Bringing you stories and statistics from our different
perspectives, we talk home schooling to ventilators and the role of
aid, and how coronavirus exploits the gap between rich and poor
people, rich and poor nations and between women and
men. 

We try to find some hope in what it could mean for the future of
our world.
