Why may the coronavirus fallout be worse for women than for men? How does the coronavirus affect the already challenging work life balance? What are the indirect COVID19 casualties due to women being locked at home with their abuser? And what will be the role of women in the reconstruction of a strong, united Europe after the crisis? Listen to this episode to find more answers on how to secure a fairer, more inclusive and more sustainable feminist Europe by bringing out the true potential of women and acknowledging their essential role in the functioning of the society as a whole.
