Women are at the highest risk of pandemic adversities as they represent the majority of health and frontline workers in addition to their essential roles at home. We review gender differences during the COVID-19 pandemic by demonstrating risk-exposure during specific situations such as pregnancy, women's mental health fallouts, COVID-19 disease itself and exposure to different forms of violence. We discuss the particularities that women face in developing countries with depicted examples from some countries in Africa and the Middle East. Women mental health care service stands out as an essential component of the national response to pandemics. Women's integration and leadership in the national pandemic response planning is crucial.
女性面临着最高的大流行不利风险，因为她们不仅是医疗和一线工作者中的大多数，而且在家中也扮演着重要角色。我们通过在特定情况下（如怀孕、女性心理健康问题、COVID-19 疾病本身以及不同形式的暴力）展示风险暴露，来回顾 COVID-19 大流行期间的性别差异。我们讨论了发展中国家女性面临的特殊性，并以非洲和中东一些国家的例子来说明。妇女心理健康保健服务是国家对大流行做出反应的一个重要组成部分。妇女在国家大流行应对规划中的融入和领导作用至关重要。
