Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on domestic violence Domestic violence and sexual exploitation, which is already an epidemic across the world, spike when households were placed under the increased strains that come from security, health and money worries, and cramped and confined living conditions.

- 72177135372 , on April 10 , 2020 , to report domestic violence on an
emergency basis during the lockdown.

properly help to the women's resulting increases in the number of
cases of Domestic Voilence.

9. Factors
of inceasing
Domestic Violence
in the Lockdown

10. Women are being infected with it. However, several help line
numbers and shelter homes, groups and NGOs are helping
those women but Women and victims have to keep aware
themselves, then we will reduced the increasing rate of cases. To
increase awareness about Domestic violence Act, her legal rights,
fundamental rights and the provisions under these acts in those
areas where cases are day by day increasing.
I think domestic
violence is a
virus in itself,
the lockdown
has not only
increased its
breeding rate
but also
increased its
infection and day
by day

11. Solutionscanbe
considered
Victim and her family members should not
bear anything in silence
Try to call famliy members, neighbours or any
trustworthy person
Call Police or helpline number
Try to increase uses of virtual courts where victim can
get justice in the times of pandmic
Penalities or Punishment should be more strict

12. Stop Domestic Voilence
