and administration of public service for women and caretakers of Zika virus affected children in Pernambuco, Brazil
The aim of this project is to promote well-informed dialogue and collaboration between affected groups and service-providers about the biological, social and emotional effects of Zika. The research will pursue an understanding of therapeutic itineraries of affected populations and their capacity for accessing necessary care, exploring demands and rights.
CORTH is honoured to have this connection with our Brazilian anthropology researchers working with Professor Parry Scott at FAGES in Recife, Pernambuco. They have really brought alive what zika means for the mothers and fathers of zika affected children.
