Women after COVID-19 Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

Women after COVID-19 Case Solution

1.Importance of the topic

  1. The Covid19 has changed the life’s of millions of people, but it has not done so equally , more women are the risk of losing their jobs due to this virus then men , because around 35% employed women are working in industries are hit hard by this virus . And many are facing less income in all countries or health care. The very jobs that women hold are also putting their health at risk. Globally 70% of health care workers are women and are more likely to come in contact with this Covid19. Women are also more likely than men to hold their jobs where they are under paid, unprotected or paid by hour. Economic response to the virus must take gender into consideration to deal with this inequality head on. (Wenham, 2020)
  2. Pregnant women may be at higher risk for severe illness from this Covid19, they have had to make some difficult choices in accessing parental health or care. There have also been measurable declines in access to maternal health due to lock-down and travel restrictions. Additionally there is limited access of products and increased demand results in higher prices could lead to 15 million unintended pregnancies. Decision makers must give priority in women’s reproductive health.
  3. Gender Based Violence:Covid19 is not only the thing threading women health in this situation, Domestic Violence has increases worldwide as women and girls are trapped with their abusers,there are also likely increases in child marriage and female genital mutilation. The Covid19 is threatening the years of progress towards gender equality and very lives of the women. More women must be entrusted with leadership positions and government must follow through on responses to the pandemic that ensure that every women and girls are given every possible chance in their lives. (Boniol, 2019)
  4. The work for women at home has increased in this lock-down as the children are being at home, the older people and men are also stuck at home,and that is where the women are working with lots of stress. As this virus has impacted each country economically and the amount of stress has also increased, alongside the increased rate of domestic violence against women during the lockdown period.
  5. Health Impact:Health Impact in this lock-down has made it even more challenging for women to receive treatment for any kind of disease they suffer. This is made worse by the factors like race,age, physical disability, which forces women not to even get a proper treatment and get information about the covid-19.(Sandoiu, 2020) Each women and girl have different health needs, but less likely he is to get the same treatment or response as like the men do. Especially for women living in rural areas where there are not good health facilities like the urban cities have. And Restrictive rules of families in rural areas can also restrict the women from getting the proper treatment.(Haldevang, 2020)

 2.Why you chose this video and lessons that can be learned from the video

1.I have chosen this video, because I belief every women should be given equal important in order for the planning and for the decision making for the treatment of this virus. Like in the sections, such as:planning, and quick emergency responses. I believe decision that are made without women’s advices, are not that effective. We should create and support those organization who support women and which also include women in their decision making.

  1. Develop a change in the thinking of the individuals for the women, while defining change in terms of Paid works. In the care job from nursing to teaching are mostly under paid. In home women do all the work alone all day without any rest, and get nothing in return. These are the two points for which I have also chosen this topic.
  2. Develop policies and encourage them to participate in the events for counterattacking the impact of covid-19. It will be very good point to encourage them for participating with men, which would develop the sense of equality in both the genders.
  3. This disease has increased all the existing differences for women. These differences shows who is affected most by this disease and what our responses for this virus are.This virus has lasted such a devastating impact over the economy of every country. All we need is the collective effort from the society. But for the response, regardless of it being at national or international level, will be more important in preventing the contagion of the virus. But I think we need to be free from our norms and think for the prosperity of the society.
  4. Rather every covid-19 plan should include proper package for all, proper budgeting and financials and need to see the impact of it on every individuals. This means including women in every discussions related to the steps for preventing this virus. Developing proper programs and opportunities for women where they are paid more,such as: developing home based jobs for women. And, also developing plans for women and helping them in securing their futures. Putting women in the center of the talk will drive better change and more sustainability in the future, which will bring more achievable goals...........................
