Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on children: An ethical analysis with a global-child lens

In: Global studies of childhood: GSC, Band 11, Heft 1, S. 105-114

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the lives of children and adolescents in resource-limited countries have been significantly impacted in complex ways, while largely having their interests overlooked. The purpose of this colloquium is to examine these impacts across seven resource-limited nations and apply an ethical lens to examine the ways in which children and adolescents have been treated impermissibly. We finish with recommendations and calls to action for key stakeholders to consider.
