Suicide during pregnancy and postpartum
by Dra. Gemma Parramon Puig
Several women will share their stories and experiences of the pandemic from a gender perspective. They will draw on their involvement in the healthcare and scientific fields, politics, mental health care and support, and social and community leadership.
If you are a professional in the social and health sector, if you are interested in sociology and anthropology and, in general, if you are interested in the topic of gender perspective.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the role of women on the front lines of the crisis, as healthcare workers, caregivers, innovators, and community organizers. They have contributed directly to the fight against the pandemic and, at the same time, have faced new obstacles that, added to those that already existed, hinder their participation and leadership. As UN Women states: “Around the world, women face increased domestic violence, unpaid care work, unemployment, and poverty.”
The health, social, and economic dimensions of the pandemic have disproportionately impacted women, affecting them and men differently. Women represent 70% of healthcare workers and are also the majority in essential services (such as hospitality and cleaning services in hospitals and care homes), which have been the sectors most overburdened. Furthermore, women continue to bear the brunt of domestic care and care for dependents, with the resulting mental strain and the difficulties in balancing work and family life that have been experienced at times, such as during school closures. The economic crisis has also put many women in a precarious position, as they already faced greater job insecurity before the pandemic. Adding to this the high feminization of the hardest-hit economic sectors (tourism, retail, and hospitality), they now face even greater challenges in coping with a new crisis.
During the pandemic, the risk of gender-based violence has also increased, stemming from the lockdown situation, as well as the risk of other types of violence against women.
The mental health of many people has been affected by social isolation, fear of infection, financial instability, uncertainty, and grief, leading to a notable increase in the prevalence of disorders such as anxiety (around 33%) and depression (28%). In general, more women than men are affected by these disorders, so the COVID-19 crisis is also undermining their mental health.
For all these reasons, many female leaders are calling for measures to address the pandemic and provide support for citizens from a gender perspective.
