I wish to talk about women who are not employed but are full-time workers at their home doing all the household works from cooking to cleaning and so on. It is a merely appreciated fact that women too contribute equally to the well-being of the family even though sometimes some omen couldn't financially contribute. 

COVID-19 has demanded men, children, and every individual to remain home. It is so unlikely to have every member of the family 24 *7 in their homes. COVID has given people time to spend together especially for children in hostels or for men who work elsewhere or works in shift base. In some houses, though things might be a little different.

The women in the house may not be really happy to have all the members of the family for so long, It's been one year and still counting, that people are forced to stay home. Women are considered vulnerable and they are exploited easily. The lockdown might have increased the risk of violence they face in their homes.

There were situations when the beverage outlets were closed. Imagine the plight of the wife or woman in the house of an alcoholic. He may just show his frustration to the women and children in the family. The agitated addict may end up beating up the women. Men, sitting the whole day at home without being able to go to work may increase the risk of violence on women. As the financial burden increases, men go into a dilemma, and the alcoholics may generally be least concerned about the meals but about their bodies being deprived of the alcohol. 

Whatever be the reason the prime victims are women. Consider a middle-class family where the breadwinner is now forced to follow the work-from-home system. He might be struggling with the works and he just eases his emotions fighting with his partner. He might not be satisfied with his wife's works nor with the food because he needs to discharge his fear and anger which he could not obviously do to his boss. He may not be having issues with his wife but he cannot shout at his boss to whom he is annoyed. Now, he just shouts to someone whom he thinks I inferior to him.

At least when the men were out for work and when the children were away at the school the omen could peacefully cook. She had her lone time where she could sing, or stitch or do anything she liked. This is not the case for every woman but generally in a lower-middle-class family to the ones who suffer the poverty this may be case. Women are always busy cooking or resolving the fights between kids or listening to the problems of their partner but who really listens to them? I doubt that, do they really get an opportunity to speak about or speak for them?

Well, I believe each of the partners should share their concerns. Try to engage in fewer fights because this may create ego problems and you remain within these four walls throughout the day and it's better not to push the fight too long. Men should try helping women in the kitchen or in whatever streams they could, encourage them, and see the best in them. Sit together as a family and spend time with the children, motivate them to engage in physical activities than binge-watch television and mobile phones. 

Equality always starts at home. Consider the women in your home, encourage, appreciate and work with them even if you are not an expert. This shows your respect towards them.
