Impact of covid-19 on domestic violence against women: A study of the infectious shadow - Bihar Journal of Public Administration - 21(1), Jan-Jun, 2024: p.89-97
Violence, in all its forms, is a severe infringement of fundamental rights. Violence is not an isolated occurrence but rather a concealed aspect of life. When we consider the surge in violence against girls and women during the COVID-19 pandemic, it reveals an alarming increase in domestic abuse, which remains hidden in the shadows. This issue demands immediate attention as it paves the way for another silent pandemic that may be even more menacing than the ongoing spread of COVID-19. Government agencies and policymakers must prioritise addressing these forms of violence. Concurrently, intensify the dissemination of awareness alongside global pandemic mitigation measures. This paper aims to shed light on the current trends in the spread of this shadow pandemic, emphasising the urgency of addressing this issue. – Reproduced
