Women Reclaim Rights In Gender Inequality Amid Pandemic

ROME, ITALY - MARCH 18: The women activists of "Giusto Mezzo" protest to demand the right to work, in front of the Parliament and prepare a box to be delivered to the Prime Minister Mario Draghi with their tools and professional clothes: togas, theatre masks, gowns, brushes, calculators, laptops, cameras and every working tool that is in fact unusable, on March 18, 2021 in Rome, Italy. In 2020, 99,000 women lost their jobs, 98% of the unemployed since the start of the pandemic. As a result of the restrictions, just as many are unable to exercise their profession. Added to all this is distance learning: with children at home, from high school to nursery school, the care and education of the youngest children is left entirely to their parents.
