“The coronavirus crisis has dramatically compounded domestic violence against women, new research has revealed.
Two-thirds of women in abusive relationships have suffered more violence from their partners during the pandemic, according to an investigation by the BBC’s Panorama.
Three-quarters of victims also say the lockdown has made it harder for them to escape their abusers.
The joint investigation by Panorama and Women’s Aid is the first in-depth study into how the nationwide shutdown in response to Covid-19 has impacted victims of domestic abuse.”
