The COVID-19 pandemic saw a sharp increase in the number of domestic violence cases around the world. What is the co-relation between COVID-19 and domestic violence? What did and could have the government done to facilitate greater access to justice for survivors during this time? How did civil society respond to this sudden rise while grappling with a pandemic themselves?
CW: Mention of Rape, sexual-physical-mental assault, other forms of gender-based violence, and covid -related distress & death.
In this episode, we have with us Shreyasi Tripathi (@khanahbadoshi on instagram), a final year law student from National Law University Delhi and Mounica Sreesai (@mounicasreesai on instagram), who is a sociologist and a researcher.
