PPE is generally designed for men's faces. That and other reasons female healthcare workers may have suffered disproportionately during the pandemic, according to thetruedrdoom
Health care workers who work directly with COVID-19 patients not only have a greater risk of exposure to the virus but are also more likely to experience psychological distress due to witnessing repeated deaths and patients with severe illnesses. They have to comfort patients when their families are not allowed to visit. In addition, some health care workers chose to move out of their homes to protect their families, removing them from their own support system.
A study in Brazil highlighted how racial inequality contributed to greater psychological distress in women health care workers. In that study, Black women reported having less access to PPE and training, as well as experiencing more workplace harassment compared to White women . In addition, racist and xenophobic violence against Asian Americans increased during the pandemic, creating a greater threat to the safety of Asian American women who were health care workers .
