Description
The COVID-19 was declared as a
controllable pandemic by the World Health
Organization (WHO) on 11 March 2020
(WHO, 2020). Measures have supported in
controlling the infection rates and flatten the
pandemic curve in different countries.
However, it has still affected the societies
adversely by increasing an individual's
financial, social and psychological burden
(Nicola, et.al, 2020; Hossain et al, 2020),
these repercussions have reflected more on
vulnerable women who live with abusive
partner (pregnant women, women with
underlying conditions and women with
disabilities)and their survival safety have
been compromised. As many vulnerable
women trapped indoors with their abusers,
especially during quarantine conditions,
which are usually associated with substance
misuse and stress, are at risk of domestic
violence (DM) (Mazza, et.al, 2020)
