The Covid-19 pandemic, which started to appear at the end of 2019 and spread rapidly and made people sick physically, manifested itself with its negative effects on people's mental health and social life in the process, and became a global problem in terms of the problems it caused in social life. Human-being is a multidimensional entity with his soul, body and social existence. Moreover, everything that happens within each of these dimensions has an impact on the other dimensions.
The problems that were experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic related to family, women and children have not yet lost their impact. In addition to the health-related precautions that countries have taken due to the pandemic such as social distance, quarantine, and closure practices, the problems in the economic field have deeply shaken the society. As a result, they have negatively affected the family institution and changed the roles and functions of family members. While the pandemic process elevated the financial anxiety on the societies, it also changed the responsibilities of families at home and brought forth problems such as domestic violence and divorce. Thus, the pandemic process interrelatedly disrupted the functionality of families, employment, education, health, transportation, accommodation, nutrition, social activity and interpersonal communication.
In many fields of health sciences and social sciences, especially in medicine, various studies on the effects of the pandemic and solutions have been carried out during the pandemic process in the world and in our country. In this article, a selection of studies investigating the effects of the pandemic on family, women and children, both in the world and in our country, has been created, classified and evaluated. The aim of this research is to obtain a bird's-eye view of the studies, each of which approaches the subject from different perspectives, and to evaluate the subject holistically. With this method, it will be possible to predict the long-term effects of the pandemic on the family. Thus, it is aimed to contribute to the search for solutions and to provide a perspective to the scientific world and social policy actors on the social problems that have arisen due to the pandemic.
