Abstract

The objective of this article is to study the impact of COVID-19 on the lives of women by exploring different aspects like their daily work patterns, hygiene practices, psychological effects and nutritional status during the pandemic. 510 women participated in the online survey. The majority of the respondents belonged to the age group of 20–29 years and were either graduates or above. 37.3% of the working respondents reported increased professional responsibilities during the pandemic. Cooking and cleaning occupied most of the time during the lockdown. Anxiety, lack of concentration and frequent arguments with the family members were reported by the respondents. Many of the respondents took up physical activities to maintain their fitness. They also believed that usage of masks would prevent them from catching the infection. 75.2% of women included vitamin-rich sources in their diet. This level of consciousness might be linked to the educational profile of the respondents.
新冠肺炎及其对妇女生活各个方面的影响
本文的目的是通过探讨疫情期间妇女的日常工作模式、卫生习惯、心理影响和营养状况等不同方面,研究COVID-19对妇女生活的影响。510名女性参与了这项在线调查。大多数受访者年龄在20-29岁之间,都是大学毕业生或以上。37.3%的工作答复者报告在大流行期间增加了专业责任。在封锁期间,烹饪和清洁占据了大部分时间。受访者报告了焦虑、注意力不集中和经常与家人争吵。许多受访者参加体育活动以保持健康。他们还认为戴口罩可以防止感染。75.2%的女性在饮食中含有富含维生素的食物。这种意识水平可能与受访者的教育背景有关。

期刊介绍: The Indian Journal of Gender Studies is geared towards providing a more holistic understanding of society. Women and men are not compared mechanically. Rather, gender categories are analysed with a view to changing social attitudes and academic biases which obstruct a holistic understanding of contributions to the family, community and a wider polity. The journal focuses, among other issues, on violence as a phenomenon, the social organisation of the family, the invisibility of women"s work, institutional and policy analyses, women and politics, and motherhood and child care.
