UN Women UK To Set Up Platform For Abused Women During Lockdown
UN Women UK To Set Up Platform For Abused Women During Lockdown
Isolation from support networks is a key tactic used by perpetrators of abuse, and has dangerous consequences. Removing access to friends, family and weakening support networks enables an abusive partner to gain increased control over a victim. Enforced isolation due to other means will aggravate relationships where this is already happening.
Public services are going to be increasingly stretched beyond their means, so there is a role for everyone to play in reducing the impact of social distancing, reaching out with emotional and practical support, and acting fast to any signs of abuse. Technology provides a lifeline to the vulnerable to have equal access to safety, health and freedom – and this is particularly important at difficult times such as this.
