Abstract

The social impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on women's lives have exacerbated the gender inequality that sustains social relations within capitalist sociability. Aiming to bring this debate to the academic agenda, the academic work for the conclusion of the Social Service course on screen aims to reflect on the socioeconomic, cultural and health impacts that fall on women's lives during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic. To this end, we explore the meanings of the pandemic and its main impacts on social life and describe the main impacts of the pandemic on women's social, economic, cultural, emotional and health lives. The study was carried out through bibliographical research, of a basic nature, within the framework of a qualitative approach, with exploratory objectives. The data collection, systematization and analysis process present as results: the explanation of what a pandemic means and the particularities of the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, its occurrences, a manifestation of the structural crisis of current capitalism and its main impacts on society Brazilian. And the description of the main impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the daily lives, family relationships, work and health of Brazilian women and their manifestations of gender inequality. At the end of the study, it was concluded that in patriarchal capitalist sociability, the organization of social relations is the responsibility of women, including in this sociocultural role the maintenance of family balance and the development of children, in addition to the production of work and income for their own maintenance. These requirements were practically banned during the Covid-19 pandemic, intensifying women's daily tasks, causing inconvenience, stress, and a lot of suffering.
