Title Deep Disorder! Revisiting Gender, Health and Social Justice in Dharavi Slum, Bombay
Year 2024
Published
Abstract This essay builds on an ethnographic framework of the Dharavi slum in Bombay during the COVID-times. It explores, further, health and social conditions of women, their vulnerabilities and violence-inflicted lives, economic deprivation and mental health conditions. This article, further, builds together community sense of feeling, community spaces as a way to social justice, arguing the phenomenology of resilience in seeking social, emotional and other means of mutual support that they experience in attempts to alleviate their health-led challenges and varied conditions of vulnerabilities. Also, arguing further, the essay captures a people-centred analyses to global health, seeking further in calling for the meaning to 'health' as transferring the diagnostic or standardized model of a politicized biology to shifting, discursive configurations to well-being.
