Even though news outlets typically focus on the way COVID-19 kills more men than women, that doesn’t mean women won’t feel a significant strain.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to sweep the world, and people everywhere feel uncertain about when life will return to normal — and what things will look like once it does. In the meantime, women face additional pressures during already troubled times.
While shelters are considered essential services, many locations no longer see women in person, instead offering phone support. Women who fear they are at risk should reach out to a trusted friend or a family member to serve as a hotline in an emergency.
Furthermore, several states have taken advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to push their anti-abortion agenda. Several states have declared abortion providers nonessential services and ordered them to shut their doors. Additionally, rural providers who typically fly into the areas they serve now find themselves stymied due to cancellations and delays.
4. Women Maintain an Already Frantic Second Shift When the kids are at home, childcare often falls to the female partner in heterosexual relationships. During COVID-19, these responsibilities will grow exponentially. Parents are no longer merely guardians but homeschool teachers, as well. Plus, extended time cooped up indoors means the little ones make more of a mess than usual — and you can’t exactly send them to the playground when you’re ready to scream in frustration.
