الملخص EN

Many studies confirm that Egyptian women are the most affected by the social, economic and political changes that society is going through, such as revolutions, crises, and so on.

the literature and various studies indicate that women suffer in a complex way not only because of their gender; rather, her suffering multiplies if she is poor, uneducated, or lives in a remote area...etc, so that it bears several grounds for discrimination against it, such as the burden of class marginalization, in addition to the burden of discrimination on the basis of gender, and geographic discrimination.

such a situation includes large sectors of women who suffer from destitution and lack any kind of social protection, such as women who are heads of families, workers in the informal sector, and workers in the formal sector without any job guarantees and other female labor sectors.

therefore, the chances of being exposed to economic and social risks as a result of the repercussions of the corona pandemic are more severe than that of men.

despite the efforts made by the state to support these affected groups, including those working in the informal sector, these efforts are not enough to protect them and reduce the risk rate they are exposed to, especially since many of them fall within the marginalized and poor groups.

the study belongs to the field of field studies that relied on the descriptive approach to interpret the quantitative data of the information collected directly from a random sample of married women in all parts of society and its governorates, the size of which reached (204) singles, via the internet, based on the electronic questionnaire tool due to the conditions of corona and the procedures precautionary.

the form included three parts, the first part focused on women's knowledge of the virus and the sources of this knowledge, and the measures and measures they take to protect from it, and the second part was concerned with identifying the most important economic and social risks that women suffer from accompanying the corona pandemic, and the third part explained the most important measures and measures taken to combat it from before the state, and their vision of developing these procedures in a way that reduces these risks and their repercussions on them.

which puts them below the poverty line and increases their marginalization and their families.•the spread of the corona virus and the lack of an effective treatment or vaccine created a state of fear, anxiety and tension among some mothers who exaggerated caution and concern for their members, which affected the structure of relationships among them, and pushed them to more closure, loneliness and isolation, while other women resorted to balance.

in following preventive measures with the continuation of normal life and relations between families.•the rates of disputes and quarrels between spouses and the rest of the family increased in some families as a result of the long period of the home ban, mothers’ fear for children and adults from infection, unemployment, school and university closures, and remote work, which created great psychological pressures on women and placed more burdens on them.•the virtual world played an important role for most women in shaping their awareness of various information about the virus and ways to prevent exposure to it, while some women resorted to traditional media such as television, radio and various newspapers.
