Аннотация

The COVID-19 pandemic shows and tests how developed the healthcare system is, their counteraction potential, the level of preparedness and the speed of emergency response. The healthcare system of Kyrgyzstan has shown complete failure in protecting citizens from coronavirus. Overcrowded hospitals, lack of medicines and equipment, shortage of doctors. This situation was common during the first wave of the pandemic. The governments of many countries around the globe could not cope with this situation and at this moment civil society and the volunteer movement joined in. It is obvious that on a global scale, the pandemic has affected the situation of men and women in different ways, limiting their economic opportunities and increasing the gender inequality and female suppresion. First of all, due to the loss of sources of income of females, including women-entrepreneurs, traditionally focused on the service sector, a large proportion of women workers at risk in the health, social welfare and education systems, increased household workload in quarantine conditions. In this article, we will try to reveal the relevance of this issue, based on the process of equal social partnership as a tool for coordinating interests between the government and representatives of all sectors of society to create a favorable climate in the post-crisis period.
