“…Similarly, previous feminist literature has documented that women have less access to key assets for survival, both before and after disaster strikes (Enarson, 2006). For instance, women have less access to a range of resources, including land and other economic resources, such as employment, housing, education, information, transportation, and also social networks and personal mobility prior to the disaster as a matter of patriarchal social order (LaBerge et al, 2023;Pan American Health Organization, n.d.; see also Versey & Russell, 2023). Feminist scholars of disaster have also regularly pointed to women's overrepresentation in informal economies, selfeconomy, and other low-paying jobs, as well as the barriers women facing in migrating for work post disaster due to ties to their children and domestic responsibilities.…”

In this concluding article, the authors use a global, intersectional feminist political economy lens to reconceptualize disaster response policy and practices that center women's lives. They extend this issue's discussion of the COVID‐19 pandemic's impact on women's health and safety in ways that have exposed and expanded gender inequalities, and differently for different groups of women, to the discourse of how disaster responses have not only failed women, but have also been used opportunistically by elites to enhance racial and gendered capitalism. In the first half of the article, the authors discuss how the previous feminist literature on the gendering of disasters, with important exceptions, largely misses a critique of the ways the crisis of neoliberalism and the role of racial and gendered global capitalism sets the stage for women to be targets for disaster opportunism. At the same time, critical scholars who have taken on the analysis of disaster capitalism often ignore the well‐established feminist social science on disasters. In the second half of the article, the authors bridge these two literatures and provide an intersectional gendered analysis of what they call the political economy of “racialized patriarchal disaster capitalism” as applied to select cases from the COVID crisis as illustrations. Finally, the authors discuss the theoretical implications of their analysis for feminist conceptualizations of disaster opportunism, as well as practical implications for global public health advocates, policy makers, NGOs, and feminist health activists.

“…Women identified concerns about safety, provision of basic and repair services to homes, eviction pressures and landlord harassment (even when social policy was introduced to address these concerns), and increased financial and food scarcity. Concerns about housing and shelter were expanded upon in a study that interviewed over 200 justice‐involved women, where the role of neighborhood disorder in compounding COVID‐19 impacts was specifically highlighted (Laberge et al., 2023). Results indicate that women who reside in more disordered neighborhoods had increased socioeconomic COVID‐19 impacts than those residing in disordered neighborhoods.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately endangered women's health, well-being and safety. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 7 million people worldwide have died from the virus by May 2023. While COVID-19 posed an immediate threat to the lives of people around the world, the interconnections of gender, race, ethnicity, and class resulted in differential consequences of the global pandemic. With a focus on intersecting identities, this special issue explores how women became more vulnerable during the pandemic and suggest what policies and interventions would work to buffer against such risks.In this issue, authors use empirical, review, and policy implication work to demonstrate how women, particularly those with other minoritized intersecting identities, were impacted by COVID-19. The authors of this special issue examine the impacts of COVID-19 on women's physical, emotional, and reproductive health, along with issues of safety. The unique role that women play in mothering and caretaking, within their homes, workplaces, and communities, means that this endangerment has widespread and potentially intergenerational impacts. Moreover, it is
