Angolan First Lady calls for more attention to women
Luanda, Mar 8 (Prensa Latina) The lockdown and economic recession caused by Covid-19 worsened women s situation, and the great post-pandemic challenge will be solving those problems, Angolan First Lady Ana Dias Lourenço said on Monday.
Preexisting phenomena such as domestic and gender violence and unemployment, especially women s unemployment, rose under the unusual conditions of the pandemic outbreak, she acknowledged.
In a message on the occasion of the International Women s Day, Dias Lourenço highlighted the special impact of Covid-19 on women, because they, she commented, are the ones having more difficulties in keeping their jobs in a crisis situation, since they are in charge of their children and families.
