The country is in lockdown from 22nd March to cut chain of Coronavirus spread. This has led to many challenges among different actors of the society. However, women are facing more challenges.
The lockdown has affected livelihood of women in different ways. The fishing sector, maid sector, agricultural sector and many other sector employs huge number of women in informal ways. Due to lockdown they have lost their livelihood hence lost their mearge income. This has created huge burden on them to run their families.
Secondly, due to lockdown their husbands are at home and since they have also lost their job so they are frustrated. In this frustrating moment they are creating nuinsance at home. In simple words, there has been recent spike in domestic violence cases not only in India but globally also. This is really devastating for them to handle their spouses and at the same time handle their house-hold chores.
In India women are worshipped like goddess Laxmi, Durga and many more. But in actual world they are the most who faces most problems. The government, society, common educated people everyone should come forward to fight this situation. The pandemic will not be won if we loose at our home. We should come forward and help each other in any form so that we can prevent this Coronavirus pandemic as well as anthropogenic pandemic which women are facing at their home.
