Full Description
This monograph critically examines the intersection of gender, religion, and mental health in the context of COVID-19, centering African women's experiences. Drawing from the assertion that "pandemics wear the face of a woman", it explores how social, cultural, and religious frameworks shaped women's struggles and resilience during this unprecedented time. With a particular focus on sustainable religious interventions, the book offers insights into how faith communities can support mental well-being in ways that challenge oppression and foster healing. Grounded in interdisciplinary scholarship and empirical research, this book is an essential read for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand and address the long-term gendered consequences of global health crises.
