Overwork in times of Covid-19: unveiling the days of women in confinement.

Abstract

This work is the result of an investigation that aims to offer the reader a perspective on the work days that women have experienced during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, our purpose is to get closer to reflecting on structural violence, and its effects on culture, economy. We are particularly interested in highlighting the effects experienced in the working day which, due to confinement, has been exacerbated. This research is of an ethnographic nature insofar as we are interested in giving an account of the experience that women live, only in this way do we consider that we can give a voice to them as main social actors, by narrating their experience and expressing perception about the implications that it has brought this time of pandemic as a woman. Quantitatively, we rely on the application of surveys through social networks. Our main findings show a condition of vulnerability, fatigue and devastation, not only in her condition as a woman, but also in her relationship with her partner and with her family. However, despite having lost their formal employment, many women have sought livelihood strategies to support their families.
