Laboratorio de Vivienda (LAV) – Asentamientos precarios y vivienda social: impactos del COVID-19 y respuesta.

​

Las estrategias de aislamiento, distanciamiento social y cuarentena como se han implementado en otros contextos no son sostenibles y en otros casos no son viables en la medida en que ponen en riesgo la supervivencia de los habitantes de áreas con condiciones de habitabilidad precaria. 

​

La estrategia más expedita para capitalizar la respuesta inmediata y aportar a la recuperación pos- pandemia de largo plazo es generar una alianza intersectorial regional que catapulte un renovado programa de mejoramiento integral de barrios saludables.

Crisis de cuidados 

 

La pandemia de la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) ha puesto de relieve, de forma inédita, la importancia de los cuidados para la sostenibilidad de la vida y la poca visibilidad que tiene este sector en las economías de la región, en las que se sigue considerando una externalidad y no un componente fundamental para el desarrollo.

Preparedness and early action by local governments and communities is essential. Once an outbreak occurs escalation can be rapid, leaving little room for further planning. 

 

Historically, informal settlements and their residents have been stigmatised, blamed, and subject to rules and regulations which are unaffordable or unfeasible to adhere to. Responses to COVID-19 should not repeat these mistakes. Collaborating with local residents and trusting them as stewards of their community, with unsurpassed knowledge of relevant spatial and social infrastructures, will enable effective control measures.

 "‘Slums’ are hard to know. The informal or illegal status of many deprived settlements often undermines both the collection of data and the implementation of policies to improve health.

​

Informal settlements and their residents are part and parcel of the city system, often subsidising and contributing to life elsewhere in the city.

 

Community engagement will be key to effective epidemic control, be it delivering trusted messages, carrying out surveillance, or attempting to limit movement"

The global spread of COVID-19 poses particular risks for the one billion people living in informal urban settlements in the global South. A range of factors make transition of the virus more likely and strategies to tackle it extremely difficult to implement.

A one-size-fits-all approach, however, risks overlooking the enormous differences between rich and poor countries with regard to living conditions, social mores, and the availability of resources and services.

  • A world centred on regeneration and care, for ourselves, for others, for our planet, is the only sustainable future.

Centre for women’s global leadership 

 

Violence against women, domestic violence/Intimate partner violence (DV/IPV). Rates and severity of domestic violence/intimate partner violence against women, including sexual and reproductive violence, will likely surge as tension rises. Mobility restrictions (social distance, self-isolation, extreme lockdown, or quarantine) will also increase survivors’ vulnerability to abuse and need for protection services.
