Foster says a lot women were in isolation with partners that were abusive during lockdown and that caused tremendous problems for women. Foster says post COVID-19 they saw an increase in a number of women seeking divorces, which she describes as unusual. Foster says women carried a heavier care burden as they had to care for the elderly, disabled and the sick.
