    Vaccination Hesitancy and Adaptation with Particular Emphasis on Women
    (Bentham Science, 2023) Tahmeena Khan
    The novel beta-coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) emerged in 2019 in Wuhan from bats and later caused inter-human transmission. India is one of the worst- hit countries, where two million casualties have taken place during the second wave of the pandemic. The year 2021 witnessed the more deadly form of the virus. At the same time, there was remarkable progress in vaccine development resulting in the approval of a few vaccines by the governments. The process of COVID-19 vaccination has kickstarted in many countries. The general attitude towards acceptance of the vaccine has been reported in countries like the USA and Jordan. Very few studies have reported the understanding and hesitation regarding the vaccination among the Indian population, and the present study is an attempt to highlight the general mindset, acceptance, misconceptions and awareness regarding the COVID-19 vaccination from the Indian perspective. Being one of the worst-hit countries in terms of COVID-19, it is important to identify the barriers holding the Indian population back from getting vaccinated. This study was done as a questionnaire survey aimed at knowing the general apprehension, and thoughts of the public regarding the vaccination with 308 respondents, precisely of Indian origin. 58.8% (n=181) respondents were non- vaccinated. 45.2% (n=95) respondents reported that their respective employers made vaccination compulsory. 51.5% (n=120) felt that the vaccine is 60-80% safe. The results may be used by the public health authorities to identify the priority group and the barriers holding people back from vaccination.

    INTERSECTIONALITY IN THE WORKPLACE IN INDIA: NAVIGATING THE IMPACT OF RACE, ETHNICITY AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS ON WOMEN'S EXPERIENCES
    (Noble Science Press, 2024) Anas Jameel, Fasih Raghib Gauhar, Waseem Ahmed
    The chapter delves into the complex realities of women in India's professional sphere, utilizing an intersectional framework to elucidate their experiences beyond traditional gender- based analyses. Through qualitative exploration informed by critical feminist perspectives, it examines how factors like race, ethnicity, and socio-economic status intersect to shape women's career paths, encounters with discrimination, and access to advancement opportunities. Highlighting the challenges encountered by marginalized groups such as Dalit and Adivasi women, it underscores the compounded effects of caste, class, and gender in perpetuating workplace inequalities. Despite these obstacles, the research underscores women's resilience and agency in navigating adversity, forming support networks, and advocating for change. By challenging a monolithic understanding of "womanhood" in India, this study underscores the necessity of adopting a nuanced, intersectional approach to comprehend the diverse experiences of women in the workplace.
