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 http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA_Vol.%20XXI%20No.%201%20Jan-June.%202024.pdf Pandemic, Domestic violence, Sexual abuse, Human rights, Menstrual health. 47608 Bihar Journal of Public Administration DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 402735 IIPA IIPA 2024-09-12 21(1), Jan-Jun, 2024: p.89-97 AR133088 2024-09-12 AR
