A study of gender-based issues on field of Corona warriors amid lockdown

The outbreak of covid-19 has posed a major threat to the high-density areas of the country. During the corona war in the Palghar district, women employees from various departments of the district administration played an active role in providing services. There are 2210 ASHA workers, 3183 Anganwadi workers, 38 doctors, and 293 nurses and 70 female bus conductors in the Palghar District. At present, these women are playing dual responsibilities. One of a housewife and other of a covid warrior. These great warriors who contributed to the corona epidemic by risking their lives during corona warfare have to face various problems while serving in the field. Despite being more vulnerable than men, women employees continue to serve at par with their male counterparts. 

This paper aims to highlight the problems faced by female employees on the duty during the lockdown period. Make society sensitive towards them and foster support for women warriors in this corona war. For this study, using the simple random sampling method, information was collected from 100 random female employees from a group of 6000 consisting of women doctors, nurses, Asha workers, bus conductors, cleaners, and police all across the district. This research study is very important for corona war workers because the availability of female workers is considered as very important to fulfill the need for mental support and affection in such illnesses. It will help employers to understand and fulfill the special needs of female employees to ensure their continued active participation and increased efficiency.
