Inspired by the rise of domestic violence during COVID-19 crisis

Domestic Violence in the Wake of the Pandemic

An Act of a Weak Human and It Become Weaker

A double Pandemic: Domestic violence has categorized as another pandemic during the time of the Covid-19 outbreak. WHO (World Health Organization) has warned of the surge in domestic violence even before declaring Covid-19 as Pandemic.

It is not just a Woman’s problem but Man’s too, though the image of Domestic violence is an abused household of mere females and children. These are not new terms, it’s happening all over the world, be it in an educated or uneducated household.

It is not just physical but mental too or even both. Some don’t talk about it, prefer to keep it in a very low profile to uphold the family reputation. Some suffer internally, to an extent where they are unable to handle it anymore. But very courageous people, they break the shell and talks about it.

Domestic violence or abuse is not something new in the society or not even a new term, but what caused the pandemic to put domestic violence in limelight.

He / She did it, because no one stopped him / her

Lockdowns

We are hearing stories, plenty of them. The stories are not just from third world countries, the heard stories are even from developed countries. An incident from Bangladesh reported on April 15th, a Bangladeshi man live-streamed the murder of his wife on Facebook. It is not an isolated case but happening all over the world.

The household, including families and children who were facing abuses, are at high risk when the country is in lockdown. Few families are facing it for the first time, and they blame it due to lockdowns. Spouses get frustrated when they are confined at home, as a result, they lash out on their dear ones. Men get angry when they are in a financial crisis, therefore torturing is a method for them to vent it out.

In most cases, it is the woman who encounters it, but that does not mean men are excluded or left alone here. Men suffer silently too when the household turns against him or abuses him verbally when he is not able to provide adequate support. Just wondering how many men do voice out?

Social Life

Lack of Social life is another issue that surfaced due to lockdown and quarantines. Everybody needs their own space, from poor to rich families. It’s an extremely difficult situation when the household has to face each other every day without a break. Such a situation contributes to violence too.

In Singapore alone, as per the data, there is a 22% increase in reported violence cases compared to the average of previous months before lockdown. If we take a look at an average working family, both husband and wife are literally out of the face and shoes of each other for at least 8 hours. This 8 hours itself gives spouses enough time to isolate themselves and refresh their mind.

Studies show that there is no enough safe space in a house let alone social life and it is necessary to calm down ourselves further. I do remember that it was hard to digest or to handle those days when both I and my husband started working from home. We were facing each other too much and I felt chock at times. Now that we have used it, it is a new norm for us.

Economic Fallout

The financial crisis is another contributor. Losing jobs or closing down businesses is not something we anticipated but resulted from the lockdown. One interesting fact is that most reported abusive household belongs to a low wage or daily earners, lockdown have cost them causing financial stress that leads to violence

The fear of not having money, the lookout of uncertain tomorrow creates anxiety in every individual human. Every such household is under constant threat and fragile minds are most vulnerable.

Retrenchment is on the lead, Recent documentaries which talk about the plight of human survival during the pandemic, the majority of the public says that “They do not have enough or sufficient funds to handle long term situations, maybe for 6 months”.

Domestic violence is not new but the pandemic causing a surge. Losing financial independence is a tragedy.

Maybe it's true that women and children are in a more vulnerable situation but men are victims too when ladies become abusers. How many of them talk about it or express the situation they are through? Not even one and I do know some of them personally. They suffer silently and hold back the wrath for the sake of his family and others.
