Webinar

As states enact sweeping measures to mitigate the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the burden of such efforts may deepen existing social and economic inequities, particularly among vulnerable women and children. In this webinar, Quianta Moore, fellow in Child Health Policy, analyzed the impact of recent coronavirus legislation, including the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, on low-income working women. She also discussed the long-term effects of parental stress on young children and highlighted concerns about increases in child abuse and maltreatment amid ongoing stay-at-home orders. The session included a live Q&A, moderated by Zeinab Bakhiet, research associate in Child Health Policy.
