Abstract:

This qualitative study aimed to analyze the perceptions of social actors about public responses during the Covid-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven civil society representatives and social movement leaders. We also performed triangulation based on the systematization of opinion articles authored by humanitarian organizations and civil society leaders, published in large circulation newspapers. Our analysis was inspired by the ethical principles of social justice, solidarity, and citizenship. Two main themes emerged by the thematic analysis: 1. Disproportionately affected populations remain invisible for care and protection; 2. There is an intentional project to overwhelm populations considered undesirable. To mitigate the effects during health emergencies, as well as care and protection, community movements must be incorporated as an essential part of the responses. Care, solidarity, and social participation would to be central to building health care responses within the framework of social justice. The transformation of the future in the aftermath of the pandemic will take place through the initiatives of civil society and community leaders within the territories.
