Domestic violence refers to a range of violations that happen within a home. For many people, especially women and children, home is often the place they experience physical, mental and sexual violence. The negative effects of the pandemic, such as confinement and loneliness, closure of schools and businesses and economic vulnerability due to loss of jobs have disproportionately increased the occurrences of violence towards women and children. Several different countries, such as the UK, Brazil and Spain, have witnessed an increase in the rates since the announcement of lockdown by their governments. The pandemic therefore creates a paradox around staying safe at home.
