Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the gender gap. Women, in general terms, have been profoundly affected not only as the majority of healthcare workers but also as family members, especially those with children. The measures of social lockdown enforced worldwide, including the closure of schools and day-care centres, and the need to employ smart and remote work whenever possible, have been challenging female workers in all fields, including the health sector in the lead for science research.
