Episode description
It's no secret that COVID-19 has had an impact on us all. Many have lost jobs, their lives, or have felt the anxiety of being separated from their loved ones - but what's it like living in the midst of a global pandemic in the populous country of India?
We spoke with Kate the CEO of Dignity Freedom Network (DFN) to talk about life in the midst of the worlds biggest lockdown, where India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi ordered a nationwide lockdown, limiting movement of the entire 1.3 billion population of India to try and stop the spread of COVID-19. At the time of this chat, India reported 100,000 cases of Coronavirus. To date, India has reported 355,000 cases and 12,000 deaths, but many believe the reality is far worse.
Hear how the pandemic has impacted India's most vulnerable communities, and find out how you can help.
