OP-ED: Women at the centre of the fight

In politics, business, and other areas, women are taking risks to improve things in this pandemic

The world has changed since Covid-19. We are doing things we could hardly imagine before -- attending classes from home, getting food just by clicking a button, earning from a website. We are doing all the things that were once impossible, but are now within our reach.

Time creates situations and problems, and comes up with its own solution. Even 100 years ago, women did not have the right to vote. But that has completely changed today. Today, women all around the world are achieving their dreams and goals. Even in Covid-19, it’s not any different. In addition to fulfilling their professional responsibilities at home, women in Bangladesh and other parts of the world are coping with immense strength, courage, and patience, by managing their families and helping their children in online classes.

Women leaders have also played a great role in tackling the pandemic. All those countries that have fought successfully against Covid-19 have one thing in common: Women leaders. Countries such as Denmark, Iceland, Finland, New Zealand, Germany, and Slovakia are said to be relatively more successful in controlling Covid-19. In each of these countries, women are in charge. They have taken quick steps to ensure that the people follow the hygiene rules based on the advice of experts.
