PANDEMIA DA VIOLÊNCIA: COVID-19 e desdobramentos sobre a violência doméstica

Abstract

This article aims to analyze a topic of extreme social relevance: the intersection between the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing problem of domestic violence. The context of the pandemic revealed a broader and more impactful panorama, generating a reflection on the relationships between the health crisis and the significant increase in cases of domestic violence. However, the imposition of social isolation resulting from the pandemic contributed significantly to an alarming increase in cases of violence, especially against women. Prolonged confinement led victims to share more time with their aggressors, intensifying the severity and complexity of the abuse suffered. At the same time, underreporting emerged as a fundamental concern, given victims' fear and difficulty in reporting when they are imprisoned with their aggressors. In addition, the dissemination of information on the topic, using studies based on various scientific sources, such as academic articles, books and graphs, through which the intended results of proving the fact were concisely obtained.
