(CNN Español) –– All types of violence against females and females have been reported since the coronavirus was extending to cover massive ways, following a publication by ONU Mujeres. But there is no such thing as a single amenity: the pandemic has been framed against the front lines in the loss of jobs, school desertion and mental illness risk. As in this International Day of the Woman, we find five descents that the pandemic of covid-19 empire for women.
Violence
One of three women has been the victim of sexual or physical violence in the world. And although the figure of 35% is quite high, does not include the sexual acoustic. ONU Mujeres warned that due to the pandemic, the calls to the helpline telephone lines were made in some countries. All for the benefit of domestic violence. In some phrases, some women are surrounded by their aggressors, as long as there are all sorts of people and resources that they can help. There are only 40% of the most violent types of violence perpetrated by some type of victim. Another factor that is important is that discounts can be used to receive support services.

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA, by its English flags) calculated in April 2020 that by six months the delay would be “31 million more cases of violence for gender reason”. The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (Cepal) said in 2020 that an agreement had been reached in six parts of Latin America between 60% and 76% of women (about 2 in 3) were affected Violence for gender reasons in distinguished ambitions of his life.
Like the coronavirus, the violence also has covered the coats: all ten, 137 females were cared for by members of his family. If this figure of ONU Mujeres is prevalent in the pandemic to be the most recent available, it is possible that it has increased the number of confinements. The trend is being repeated in Latin America, a region that has 14 of the 25 countries with the highest worldwide feminist indices, according to a report by the UN Women in 2018. The UNU’s Equality Observatory for 24 countries in the region registered that 4,640 women would be victims of feminicide in 2019.
Work
One of the first golfs to assist the covid-19 fue against the employees, in particular the women. The Secretary-General of the UN, António Guterres, signaled that in many countries “the first oil of collective despair” was taking place in the services sector. Exactly, where the women are «are sobrerrepresentadas». In the case of Latin America and the Caribbean, it will rise to 80% in 2019. This means that more women will be compared to the men who lose their jobs. And, for that matter, it is sustainable and economically independent.
“There is a huge gap between men and women in the labor sector and in the economic sector, which has been very affected by the pandemic”, signaled CNN’s Catalina Calderón, director of Latin America and the Caribbean Women’s Equality Center, center in the reproductive freedom of women. Calderón dijo que el hecho de que las mujeres esten perdiendo sus trabajos «tiene todo que ver con la violencia. In the majority of cases, intra-family violence has an extraordinary economic weight ». Calderon’s explanation is that when women are economically independent, they have control over those who own their couples and who act in violence. Pero, cuando pierden sus trabajos, esa Independencia se esfuma.
“Violence is linked to the control of economic dependence. We have seen this pandemic, feminist figures are high, “he insisted.
Well, 70% of women’s jobs in rural development are in the informal sector. A situation that has consequences: no social benefits due to his work and the pandemic affected the offer that the work permit. According to the UN, covid-19 “disproportionately affects” women because “they are less, less likely and less vulnerable to work” than men. In its most recent information, Cepal registers that by 2020 the desalination in labor and labor participation cases, especially for women. In this way, “the unjust sexual division of labor and the social organization of care” violates the autonomy and ownership of rights.
Rather, the confinement overrides the activities without remembrance of the time that the women are deprived of the hogar. In the face of the pandemic, in one day, they will be available three times a week in domestic areas not remunerated by men. And the covid-19 crisis is not over yet. Following an inquiry carried out in 17 countries in 2020, men and women will take greater responsibility in the areas of hogar, per the majority of the continuous work traveling in them.
Do you think that 70% of health workers, who are applauded in the middle of this pandemic, are women? And what about having more men than men? The wage break in the health sector is 28%, according to the OMS. El trabajo de las mujeres dra by tot tot $ 3 biljoen a la salud mundial. However, the number of this figure corresponds to the number of paid workers. In addition, with the covid-19 llego otra desigualdad: in some cases the coronavirus infections between the workers of the health are the double that their male colleagues.
Education

Unesco plans for 2020 that 11 million people will not be able to attend the school due to the pandemic. To have an idea: it is equivalent to the total population of Bolivia. Now, when there is a day of receiving education, there is a risk of adolescent embarrassment, premeditated marriage and abuse, abuse and violence. “For many children, school is more than just a future. It is a salvavidas », said UNESCO. In addition, the UN stated that previous epidemics have demonstrated that adolescents face the risk of failing to study, including overcoming the crisis.
But there is only the danger of school desertion. The load of care works that increased the covid-19 also recreate about the nines. This means that you can add additional rates to the hogar, when it is dedicated to many more hours of work than its peers, including the UN.
And the only panorama can be complicated if we take into account that the abrupt loss of adulthood in the high schools will generate pressure for the nines and adolescents from the school and enter the labor market due to the need to generate admissions, advises the Unicef. In the face of the pandemic, there are millions of people who do not plan to have minimum levels of skills, knowledge and opportunities to live a full productive life.
Salud spiritual
A study by the OMS revealed that the pandemic affected the paralysis of 93% of mental health services. This is especially preoccupying in the case of women who are victims of domestic violence. 67% registered disturbances “in psychological guidance and psychotherapy services”. It is said that the women who wear “a large part of the load in the hogar and suffer a more disproportionate effects of more general form”.
A study published in the library of the National Institutes of Health of EE.UU. (NIH, by its seal in English) found that those who experience violence in their neighborhoods are embarrassed, in the postpartum stage or that an abortion will have a huge risk of developing mental health problems in the midst of the pandemic.
Reproductive rights
Solo in Latin America and the Caribbean, 18 million more women could lose access to modern contraceptives for the covid-19 pandemic, following UNU’s calculations. And it is worth noting that many sexual and reproductive health services, including maternity care and gender violence, are resigning to address the crisis. That which, the organism advises, will generate an increase in maternal mortality, in cases of adolescent and sexual transmission disorders.
«Many women in our region have contraceptive pills in an unnatural way. Existence of myths in those who think that it is possible for women to lose contraceptives has a high probability of becoming infiltrated. This is absolutely ridiculous. Contraceptive measures are a form of guaranteeing our right to decide “, said Catalina Calderón of the Women’s Equality Center.
In addition, the United Nations Population Fund estimates that it has 7 million embarrassing deaths each month that extends its confinement. “For every three months that the confinement is maintained, there are almost 2 million more women who can not use modern contraceptives,” the organization warned.
And on the same line, Calderón ensures that during the pandemic the region has increased access to legal and safe abortions. “If the barriers are to be determined, we must be aware of what we are seeing in the near future as a result of this pandemic,” he said. Due to the difficulties in accessing medical support for the emergence of covid-19. In addition to “the stigma and judgment of abortion”, Calderón warned.
