A high number of women are taking care of children or other relatives. The closure of childcare facilities and schools has places an enormous burden on working women in particular, but also on families as a whole. Please let us know if you need support or advice on how to balance your studies or career with your family responsibilities.
The Bundeskonferenz der Frauen- und Gleichstellungsbeauftragten (Federal Conference of Women's and Equal Opportunities Commissioners) has published a report titled: Corona: Gleichstellung und Hochschule in der Pandemie, a compilation of relevant policy papers on this Topic.
