For her part, Ms. Suad Al-Hajri, Head of the Psychological Counseling Services Unit at Aman Center, stressed how careful the center is to develop a guiding plan to rehabilitate any woman who may suffer from a psychological, social or legal problem due to any kind of violence she has been exposed to. The woman has proven to everyone that she is able to withstand difficulties and challenges, and to have a leading role in society. The woman's leadership role starts from within her family. Her keenness to form a strong interconnected family, by following modern methods of raising her children, is the starting point for her essential role in society. An example of this is the woman's role in confronting violence in light of Covid-19 pandemic. Women have a large and effective role as they are on the front lines of Covid-19 pandemic response, as health and educational workers, care providers and innovators, and at the forefront of community organizations, and being the most prominent model examples and effective national leaders in mitigating the situation, in addition to the woman's role as a mother or sister, providing moral support to all family members and relieving psychological pressures resulted from the imposition of some laws for the purpose of limiting the spread of the pandemic, such as imposing home quarantine and social distancing. All of these tasks proved her leadership role alongside her partner, the man.​​
