Homeworking, Care Work and Gender-Based Violence The Condition of Women and Mothers during Covid-19 Domestic Confinement

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic, like any social event characterised by the loss of securities and balances, has caused a worsening of the living conditions of women who, suddenly, have experienced the expansion of many problems that already existed before the sanitary emergency, including: job insecurity, the increase in family tasks and loads, and the exacerbation of domestic violence. The contribution, taking into consideration some recent documents and studies published at an international and national level, attempts to analyse these issues and their consequences from a pedagogical and gender perspective, highlighting both the political strategies designed to contrast the forms of discrimination still suffered by women and the crucial role that pedagogy plays in the promotion of educational paths and practices aimed at implementing and consolidating gender equality.
