As stated in the first part of "take me back to the office," the economic and financial implications of working from home are more significant than social and psychological ones since the economy and finance impact a mass number of people compared to individual sufferings.

In only five days, the whole country fell into the hands of the guardians of darkness, a country with hope for a brighter future, where girls and women had a right to education, work, and equality.
