Abstract

Domestic violence against women is a real pandemic that adversely affect all countries across the world. The current Covid 19 pandemic and related lockdown period witnessed a large increase in domestic abuses globally. If such a shadow pandemic is left unaddressed it will ruin the society, and we can't even calculate real social and economic cost associated with it. This paper tries to examine the intensity and change in domestic violence cases before and after the outbreak of Corona virus. A comparative examination of the two time period is also done to find out whether there exists any association between Covid 19 related lock down and domestic violence cases reported.
