Abstract

With the Work from Home (WFH) and Study from Home (SFH) situations during COVID-19 Pandemic, women's family responsibilities have increased. It has led to domestic violence, intimate partner violence (IPV), mental health, and a high risk of violence against children, especially girls. This study uses the perspective of women's studies. It is qualitative in observing and critically analyzing the development of the COVID-19 Pandemic that befell women during 2020, both based on direct observation, literature studies on pandemic impact research results, and various reports published by the Government and reliable private media. This study finds that a pandemic can create new realities in gender-based relations in households, namely: building new constructions of gender relations; from gender equality to gender-based power relations justice; change the responsibility of care from being relying on the mother to being the responsibility of the parents collectively; the need to improve arrangements and arrangements for the equitable division of labor in work and home care. This article uses women's studies in analyzing and developing critical discourse on the justice of gender power relations in the family amid a pandemic that puts pressure on women in Indonesia, primarily due to the demands of WFH and SFH.
