Are victims of domestic violence still protected? | B. Hertford for Lights on Europe (3/4)
ARE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE STILL PROTECTED BY THE INSTITUTIONS? During corona lockdown, safety planning is even more complicated for survivors of intimate-partner violence. In previous episodes, you learned what is (and what’s not) sexual violence, challenges in times of covid-19 pandemics, and how was Brianna’s professional experience of working with victims of rape. ==== Continuing in this series on gender-based violence, in this episode you will hear: 1. Are the institutions failing in supporting victims of sexual violence during the covid-19 pandemics? Can victims count on health care, courts or jails as under normal times? 2. Are perpetrators of these crimes less likely to be detained? 3. How can we as a community help victims with their safety planning strategies? 4. What about the kids that are witnessing or targets of domestic violence? 5. How does financial stress caused by the global economic crisis contribute to the rise of intimate-partner violence and unhealthy relationship dynamics? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ONCE YOU LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW.... don't forget to: 1.
