I agree with the second issue provided as an example above. Indeed, due to the pandemic, many female employees were overloaded with their work tasks and increased housework/childcare at the same time, while they had almost no personal time and space. Thus, such stressful environment lead them to all types of anxiety, depression and so on.

The second thing I would like to mention is that during state lockdown a level of domestic violence and abuse raised dramatically in many countries, including my home country – Kazakhstan. Unfortunately, it is still quite a serious issue which should be addressed at all levels, and therefore, I feel like we need more support and an overall institutional approach to tackle this problem.
