#6 'Building back better means involving more women'

Covid-19, the African Story

Oct 8 2021 • 44 mins

Why do many people claim that female leaders have handled the Covid crisis so well? And why are so few women on the panels working on reconstruction?

This episode looks beyond the pandemic to what happens next. Will we be able to build back fairer?  We speak with Nigerian and Kenyan fact-checkers Bamas Victoria and Marian Wasia,  and hear from UN Women's Laura Turquet in New York about what the world can learn from Argentina's recovery.


Plus, the Covid-19 disinformation top ten: featuring Bill Gates, pork, and a fake rumour about onions which has been around since Roman times.
