15 million more cases of domestic violence are estimated globally for every 3 months of lockdown – the trauma will be long lasting. The Circle’s End Violence Appeal will fund services for victims including helplines, refuges and counselling in communities in South Africa, Uganda and the UK.

    Situation

    It was predicted for every three months of lockdown, that there would be an additional 15 million cases of domestic violence. For many of us, home means safety, but for millions of women this means being trapped alongside your abuser. The trauma of gender-based violence will be one of the long-lasting impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. We’re funding survivor services including helplines, counselling and refuges to ensure that women and girls can access essential, lifesaving services needed.

    Solution

    There has been a sharp increase in cases of domestic violence across the globe. We need to ensure that victims can access support, especially where social restrictions are in place due to the pandemic. It is essential for survivors, especially those without access to ongoing support, to access the safety and care. We're working with grass-roots partners to ensure that refuges and community outreach are equipped to deal with as many cases of intimate partner violence as possible.
