Gender-Based Violence and COVID-19

Lizala Alfonze – KANERE Staff Writer November 2020

Over the past seven months, cases of sexual and gender-based violence have increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the measures put in place to curb the spread of the virus, the operation of schools, sports events, businesses and most social activities has been affected. This situation forces interaction that used to be limited as many people are forced to stay at home almost every day.
