Four in every ten women are facing high levels of stress and anxiety. This current work from the home situation has been proven as a real threat to women in India. The survey, that was carried out in different cities of India concluded that women found it difficult to work from home. It had turned out to be like they have too much on their plates. They had to make sure their work was not affected along with the daily chores and childcare also had to remain their priority all along.
The work-life balance that we have always been talking about seems to have been losing its importance during the current lockdown situation. Women have to be dealing with all three very important social institutions, work, schooling, and family life together in one place complicating her life more than ever before. Even during the best of times and a proper balance we sometimes mess the either, but the situations she is into are unimaginable. This conflict will worsen if we do not find a way to help her compose things as a society and as an employer we will have to provide that flexibility to all the employees during these tough times.
There are more than 50% of women who are facing challenges to motivate themselves to continue working, because of this current situation. Men, on the other hand, have an opportunity to help women share the load of the problems but they are likely to fail in this with no or very little sensitive approach. The current situation can be blamed, for everyone is likely to face some mental trauma which is affecting the goodwill of a person too.
The situation is even worse for those women who pose themselves under the utmost risk. Women make for about 85% of staff strength of the nation’s health workers (according to Periodic Labour Force Survey 2017-18), who are now being exposed to a greater degree of risk than their male counterparts. They are not only exposed to the risk of the virus itself but also to the filthy mentality of people who abuse and assault them on the field.
We ought not to fail at this, because we already have swords hanging on over our heads and this is the only chance we have to help women survive through these challenges and come out better, our failure will only be demotivating women and shut them out. It will mean a complete closure to those who are trying to get out of the traps of society and set themselves free from the taboos.
Let’s live and let live, love, and keep loving! Helping someone at home might take some time for you, but that little effort can be life-changing for someone!
