While trying to fulfil their professional responsibilities, women had to meet their families' needs, including childcare, home schooling, care for older people, and home care. The pandemic exacerbated gender inequities in formal and informal work, and in the distribution of home responsibilities, and increased the risk of unemployment and domestic violence. Women comprise 70% of the global health and social care workforce, putting them at risk of infection and the range of physical and mental health problems associated with their role as health professionals and carers in the context of a pandemic. COVID-19 has also had a disproportionate effect on women health-care workers. The COVID-19 pandemic is a stark reminder of racial and socioeconomic disparities, with disproportionate infection and death rates among migrants, the poor, and racialised groups.
