Pope Francis praised women in frontline roles helping society weather the crisis, mentioning doctors, nurses, police officers, prison guards, and sales staff in stores selling essential goods.

The Pope also praised the many women at home caring for children, the elderly, and the disabled.

Domestic violence has risen as many countries, to slow the spread of COVID-19, impose tough restrictions on people leaving their homes.
