Domestic violence problem in India during the Lockdown by ME and Sheen Ji

The violence of domestic abuse is worse in the poorer section of the society. Recently, the UN Secretary-General appealed to governments to pay attention to and prevent a “horrifying global surge in domestic violence” over the last few weeks amid lockdown measures imposed by several countries to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.

In India, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has also flagged the issue of a spike in cases of domestic violence since the enforcement of the national lockdown.

The incidents of domestic violence have shown a rising trend, unlike other crimes in Delhi and beyond, during the ongoing lockdown, statistics have indicated. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says that the risk of intimate partner violence is likely to increase, as distancing measures are put in place and people are encouraged to stay at home.

On April 18, the Delhi High Court directed the Centre and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi to hold a top-level meeting to deliberate on measures to curb domestic violence and protect the victims during the lockdown.

As per the numbers provided by the National Commission of Women (NCW) in mid-April, the cases of domestic violence had doubled during lockdown compared to pre-lockdown days.

In 25 days between March 23 and April 16, the commission received 239 complaints, mainly through email and WhatsApp number. This is almost double the number of complaints (123) received during the previous 25 days, from February 27 to March 22. The first lockdown from March 25 to April 14 was eventually extended to May 3.

Domestic violence cases have doubled than what it was before the lockdown. The cases of domestic violence are high in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana and Punjab.
