Abstract: Entire world is struggling to get over the impacts of the pandemic Covid-19. People are finding it difficult to continue to live and work the way they were used to. New patterns of lifestyles are being invented. In the midst of the crisis are Indian women, who have lived a life of marginalization and have rarely been included in any strategic planning and development. No method of tackling the pandemic can be considered adequate unless one tries to analyse its impact on women who comprise almost 50% of our population. This paper is an attempt to make a gendered analysis of the affect of Covid -19 on women and also to assess the response of the State through a gender perspective. Pandemic like Covid -19 is new to the world but the society needs to prepare itself for any such sudden crisis which pushes the deprived sections to the margins. A gender lens would help in the success of all plans which aim at making society more inclusive and equal.
