An important service, which we could define as’ woman calls woman ‘or’ a woman answers a woman ‘, because 100 female doctors have made themselves available to respond, to give information and advice, to offer an ear that is always ready for the many difficulties encountered by women in the pandemic, not only in terms of health but also on that of domestic violence. An extraordinary initiative – he concluded – both from the point of view of social utility and from that of solidarity. human airiness “.
