Dear sisters of World Pulse family,
Right now my country India is facing so many problems in that cannot be expressed in words. We are deeply affected by the second phase of CORONA. People are highly depressed due to this second phase of CORONA.
Though we thought the CORONA cases has gone to down level, in the middle of September and October, now the curve is moving upside and the number of cases are considerably increasing. There are no words to describe how people are suffering, especially when it comes to women and children.
The depression level of women is very high since the lock down has been extended. Than men, women are more profoundly affected now than the first phase, in work places and at home. Their work load has increased due to lock down and heavy quarantine measures. According to a recent survey, lack of proper guidance for domestic and emotional challenged, have negative effects in women’s mental health. Also I have seen so many women with high anxiety and depression.
The situation of pregnant women in this situation could not be explained. They undergo a lot of psychological risks and emotional confusions because of this pandemic. High rate of miscarriage is found at the second phase of pandemic.
This second phase of CORONA has created unexplained effects in the minds of women. Let us all join hands together to overcome the serious effects of pandemic among women and young girls.
We, the sisters of world pulse can create more changes by supporting each and every women in the pandemic and overcome the stressful situation.
