Abstract

At the end of 2019, a new global situation appeared that has kept the planet in a state of alarm: the SARS-COV-2 threat. Profound changes have occurred in everything related to healthcare and life in general. This issue of Musas presents papers that explore and analyze the experiences of women and health professionals during the first wave of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. At the same time, it deals with other important issues that have stayed relevant during the pandemic, although they have not always been given the attention they required. Among these, we can highlight obstetric violence, care after pregnancy loss, gender bias in healthcare or the healthcare demands arising from the new family structures, such as the induction of breastfeeding in women who have not given birth.
