The purpose of this session is to examine the impact of the global COVID-19 pendemic environment on women's everyday lives, and to find ways to maintain human security from a women's perspective. In a global environment where national boundaries are blurring, the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be the respective country's problem. Individual countries are establishing countermeasures for the safety of their own people, but women are often alienated from the national system and the existing public order. In the COVID-19 pendemic situation, increasing women's care loads in the care sector, prioritizing dismissal of women in the job sector, and increasing gender-based violence are threatening the safety of everyday lives of women. We will examine women's alienation in each area in detail, discuss measures for women's security in everyday life, and seek for cooperation and solidarity among countries.
