But if the company gives you the option of working from home, it is already an opportunity for women. But I think that in these times and with the confinement, we find ourselves in difficulty."Laura:"At this moment personally, fortunately, I do not have this difficulty. But in fact I have a friend who cannot find a job, it's difficult for her"."For women working from home it is more complicated because they have to manage work, home and children in the same environment, so I think it is more complicated. I think whoever has help is lucky and will surely use it, because it is more complex to do everything by yourself. On the one hand, it can be an advantage and on the other hand a disadvantage, especially if the children are young. If the child is older, it can be better managed and work from home, but if the child is small; you are working concentrated and the child is seeking attention. "
