S P R I N G | S U M M E R 2 0 2 1 NORTH BAY WOMAN 25 This pandemic is exposing appalling racial and gender inequities. So while it may be true that we are all in this together, it is equally true that we are not all experiencing Covid-19 and its brutal costs in the same way. Women are our frontline responders -- healthcare providers, teachers, child welfare workers, domestic violence hotline counselors; food service and retail workers; bus drivers, janitors and domestic workers. We risk our lives, along with our physical, mental and emotional health, and many work without equal pay, healthcare, or childcare. And we are disproportionally the victims of domestic violence, experiencing more severe violence at home during the pandemic. So it's up to us, as women, to protect and support each other. 24-Hour Helpline 415-924-6616 www.C4DP.org 734 A Street, San Rafael, CA 94901 "Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands for all women" ~ Maya Angelou If you or anyone you know is feeling isolated and scared of their partner, we are here for you—24/7. 24-Hour English/Spanish Helpline 415-924-6616
