Abstract: (1692 Views)
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed global challenges, prompting strict measures to curb transmission. Yet, it's also sparked a surge in global domestic violence cases, worsened by lifestyle changes and confinement.
Methods: This paper synthesizes empirical evidence from various countries to examine the correlation between the COVID-19 pandemic and the escalation of domestic violence. It explores the impact of home-stay regulations on increasing instances of intimate partner violence and analyzes the implications for public health and legal systems.
Results: Studies indicate a significant rise in domestic violence cases during the pandemic, with notable increases reported in China, the United States, France, Argentina, Cyprus, Singapore, and Australia. The incidence of emotional, sexual, and physical violence against women has particularly surged, underscoring the urgent need for intervention.
Conclusion: Domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic has serious social, psychological, and economic impacts. Addressing it demands a holistic approach: raising awareness, legal measures, support services, family education, cultural promotion, and moral adherence. Collaboration among governments, civil society, and communities is vital for a safer, inclusive society.
