Domestic Violence and the Pandemic
For Abused Women, a Pandemic Lockdown Holds Dangers of Its Own, NY Times 3/24/2020
“’We know that any time an abusive partner may be feeling a loss of power and control — and everybody’s feeling a loss of power and control right now — it could greatly impact how victims and survivors are being treated in their homes,’ said Katie Ray-Jones, chief executive of the National Domestic Violence hotline.
She expects to see the intensity and frequency of abuse escalate, even if the number of individual cases doesn’t — a pattern that experts witnessed during the economic downturn of 2008 and immediately after 9/11, Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Katrina.”
