Abstract

India has been a patriarchal society since ancient times and this male dominance in society controls all the economic, political, religious, social and cultural institutions. Thus this automatically gives the males control over women‟s livelihood choices along with various discriminatory social practices and institutions. A combination of family caste, community, and religion reinforces and legitimizes these patriarchal values. Women play stereotyped roles in both public and private institutions. The life of women is enigmatic especially if she belongs to India as we have people who worship goddesses and at the same time we have people who torture them for dowry also subject them to other atrocities like physical abuse, violence and rape, honor killing and witchhunting. Girls are considered a burden and boys are more desirable and seen as support for parents in their old age as well as necessary to continue the family lineage. Considered a weaker section of society, these discriminatory practices create a very negative impact on the physical and mental health of women in general. The well-being of pregnant women is also influenced by anxiety, fear , stress, other related factors and in current scenario by this pandemic as well. With this background, this article highlights the issues of women‟s health both physical and mental, in India especially in the context of immunity and during this COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

A group of undergraduate students of Psychology and Occupational Therapy enrolled at the University of Paraná, Southern Brazil carried out a survey on the behavior of caged and free animals at the Passeio Publico Park, Municipality Zoo of Curitiba and Klabin Park at Telêmaco Borba, PR. The observing period of free choice animals lasted ten minutes and later students wrote a chart with everyday and scientific names of these animals as well of illustrations representing these organisms. Drawings were drawn depicting on mental and cognitive maps the observed animals as well as nighty-nine ethograms were filled referring to the experience of observing the behavior of these local animals. Primates and other vertebrates were the most observed animals by both undergraduate course students. Educational implications were discussed.
