With Latin America joining much of the world in implementing lockdown measures to mitigate against the spread of Covid-19, there is heightened concern regarding what unintended consequences may be occurring behind closed doors. Maxine Molyneux, Professor of Sociology at UCL Institute of the Americas and Canning House Associate Fellow analyses this pressing issue with Gabriela Quevedo, Director of Latin American Women's Aid at this online event organised by Canning House to take place on June 3.
