EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Following the global outbreak of COVID-19, rates of violence against women have risen dramatically. Such factors as increased substance use, widespread financial stress, and general anxiety have contributed to this dangerous increase in violence.
At the same time, women have less contact with personal support networks and less access to legal, social, and health service systems that may provide lifesaving resources for them. The result of these compounding factors is what experts have described as the “invisible pandemic” of violence against women during the COVID-19 crisis.
In Episode 3 of the CoviDB Speaker Series, we discuss the complexities of these urgent issues with the Founding President of the Global Fund for Women, Anne Firth Murray, a leading voice in the fields of women’s health and human rights. Visit the site at covidb.org.
