Globally, as well as more so in the context of India, one such major marginalized section seems to be that of ‘women’ and the lack of differential understanding of how the COVID-19 has impacted their lives remains neglected and a huge omission considering that women provide us with most of the informal care within families. More so, during crisis, women are more prone to risks due to gendered nature of the health workforce, which include women fighting the disease at the forefront, are subjected to limiting work and economic opportunities. Quarantine measures as a response to the disease have also put women at heightened risk of violence at home and cutting them off from essential protection services and networks, which they had prior to the imposition.
