Anne-Marie Tomchak, founder of ShareJoy and former Vogue digital director, is of the opinion that the Covid-19 ‘pandemic has exposed and exacerbated inequalities and made things worse for women’.
Anne-Marie pointed out, “Women are shouldering the burden of the social and economic fallout of Covid-19. They were already more likely to be in lower paid or part time jobs before covid. Now, they are now more likely to be put on furlough or to be made redundant.
