COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC RIGHTS IN SELECTED EAST AND SOUTHERN AFRICAN COUNTRIES

This book brings together critical accounts of the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic and State responses to it have impacted on selected socio-economic rights. The book offers recommendations on how socio-economic rights can best be made accessible to all, especially the vulnerable in society. The book argues that, now more than ever, government policies must prioritise the implementation of socio-economic rights to safeguard the dignity of all persons and to protect global human security.
