Stopping Muzaffarpur Child Deaths Will Require a Gender-Sensitive Social Analysis (The Wire)

India’s The Wire published an opinion piece by Purnima Menon, in which she argued that stopping Muzaffarpur child deaths will require a gender-sensitive social analysis. Menon described the situation in Muzzafarpur as one emblematic of undernutrition issues in India and argued that the families doing seasonal work in the litchi orders will continue to be most affected unless experts and policymakers begin to answer and act on a series of pressing questions about the social conditions and health system from an epidemiological and ethnographic lens, and act on resulting insights.
