The whole world is going through turmoil due to Corona virus pandemic for almost 9 months now. Everyone is affected by the pandemic in their own way. Being a working women and a mother even I have been facing lot of issues relating to work-life balance, stress, anxiety, tiredness and emotional imbalances. This motivated me to conduct a study among women to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of women across different sections of the society. An online survey was conducted among women with the help of various social media platforms. This survey was conducted in the month of September, 2020. The respondents submitted their responses by filling a questionnaire which was drafted to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of women, increase in stress, behavioural and changes in their lifestyle. The study was conducted among working women, homemakers, students and retired women, across different age groups, economic backgrounds, educational qualifications and professional status. The study reveals that the work-life balance has got disturbed for majority of women who are working and are married. However, most of the women responded that they had family support during this time. Women who have kids responded that they are unable to pay adequate attention to their kids. Majority of the respondents also acknowledged the impact of this pandemic on their mental health.
