Under normal circumstances, the workers' lives are punctuated by food and income insecurity, as well as difficulty accessing health care and childcare. Under the nation's new 21-day lockdown, female workers without salaries are struggling to survive.
Without daily wages, they don't have money to buy food or medicine. Few have savings to fall back on."There were no systems put in place at the time of this announcement. Nobody told them, stay where you are, you’ll get food, we’ll take care of you."
Prerna Singh, an associate professor at Brown University, who is working on a book about infectious disease control in India and China, said the lockdown ignored the reality of life for those who survive on daily wages. The government's response, showed"complete callousness and indifference to plight of India's most marginalized," she said.
"They put in place this authoritarian order, without thinking of the hundreds of thousands of people who are so far from home, who don’t have homes," Singh added.An Indian woman leaves after selling vegetables at a market in Hyderabad, India, March 28, 2020.
