Mary's story is the lockdown diary of the challenges faced by a woman who lives with someone with a drinking addiction.
The photo story captures her day to day isolation, the feeling of entrampment and stress worsened by the global pandemic and the consequent prolonged confinement at home.
Unfortunately, the pandemic is impacting women exponentially and many are not receiving or even asking for support. Mary's story is not unique or life threatening at the moment, and may never escalate. However, it has an impact on her well-being. Her story enlightens the difficult situations many women are silently living.
Unfortunately, well-being and mental health have become a pandemic of its own and studies are shown that women are suffering exponentially.
An extensive study by CARE reports that 6,200 women (6200 out how how many?) they had spoken with, admitted having increased challenges in relation to mental illness. Furthermore, another study conducted by MIND showed that many people did not ask fir help as they felt they did not deserve support. Unfortunately, there are many women like Mary, who may need support but are not easily reached.
