They also indicate a lowerparticipation of women in front-line themes of covid-19 such as diagnosis and prevention, and a greaterparticipation in relevant themes, but which were onlythe object of analysis in a second moment, when thetackling of covid-19 made it possible to consider otherdimensions and impacts of the crisis
