Description

Aoibheann Brennan-Wilson and nine colleagues, for the World Health Organization, sift what research on violence against women during COVID-19 taught us, and what it failed to ask. Reports of such violence rose so much in lockdowns that many called it a shadow pandemic.

Of 419 papers kept from over twenty-five thousand found, more than ninety-five in a hundred only counted the harm. Just six in a hundred tested ways to help, and one in a hundred looked at how to stop the violence in a crisis. Online abuse, femicide, forced marriage, and acid attacks stayed near-invisible. The authors urge a sharp turn toward trials of support and prevention, above all for women hit by more than one form of bias.
