Keynotes
It has been suggested that the current pandemic is creating the “perfect storm” for an increase in intimate partner violence. Using the framework of crisis, this presentation examines the impact of COVID-19 on the risk of violence in intimate relationships, as well as on community/societal efforts to address the problem. In response to the threat of increased violence, positive action has been taken. However, the likelihood of an improved post-crisis state for policies, programs, and services addressing partner violence is questioned in light of the growing focus on economic recovery.
