Domestic violence against women surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors like low well-being and job loss increased vulnerability, highlighting the need for targeted support.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns created unprecedented social and economic disruptions.
  • Confinement measures may have exacerbated existing vulnerabilities, potentially increasing domestic violence.
  • Understanding the prevalence and associated factors of domestic violence during this period is crucial for public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of domestic violence among adult women during COVID-19 pandemic-related confinement.
  • To identify individual, familial, and community factors associated with domestic violence during this period.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary analysis of the 2020 National Health and Nutrition Survey on COVID-19.

  • Employed a logistic regression model adjusted for relevant variables.

    • Main Results:

    • The prevalence of domestic violence was 5.8%.
    • Shouting, insults, or threats were the most frequently reported acts (4.3%).
    • Pre-existing domestic violence was common among affected women.
    • Low well-being (OR=1.96) and job loss due to pandemic restrictions (OR=1.96) were significant associated factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Interventions must address pre-existing domestic violence as a vulnerability factor.
    • Loss of employment emerged as a significant risk factor, necessitating economic support strategies.
    • Comprehensive care strategies should integrate psychological and socioeconomic support for women experiencing domestic violence.
