“…Indeed, a recent study found pandemic-related increases in mothers' frustrations with their partners (Calarco et al 2020). Further, a systematic review of studies examining the association between the COVID-19 pandemic and IPV confirmed a large, global increase in the number of IPV reports (Landoni and Ionio 2020). Accordingly, the World Health Organization (2020) recently released data confirming a global increase in reports of IPV since the onset of the pandemic.…”

et al. 2021

Homeschooling due to COVID-19 school closures is likely to increase conflict between work and family demands, potentially leading to adverse substance-use effects. We conducted a survey with 758 couples focusing on homeschooling, work–family conflict, and alcohol use (April 2020). The 211 homeschooling couples reported more work–family conflict than the 547 non-homeschooling couples; there also were stronger effects on family interference with work in women. Among the homeschooling couples, homeschooling hours were associated with greater partner drinking. In distinguishable dyad analyses by gender, women’s hours homeschooling were associated with greater drinking frequency by both parents. Men’s hours homeschooling were associated with lower drinking frequency in their partners. Increased work–family conflict in homeschooling couples is particularly worrisome given its link to increased stress and poor mental health. Moreover, women’s increased drinking may impede their ability to support their families during the pandemic. Men’s increased drinking could put homeschooling mothers at risk for escalating conflict/domestic violence, given links of male drinking to intimate partner violence. Finally, the protective-partner effects of men’s homeschooling hours on women’s drinking frequency suggests that more egalitarian division of homeschooling labor may have protective cross-over effects.

“…Nevertheless, despite these attempts, there have been almost 767 million COVID-19 cases reported worldwide, and as of right now, there have been almost 6.9 million COVID-19-related deaths ( 1 ). Similar to previous significant catastrophes, the COVID-19 pandemic has effects that go beyond health and have an influence on the business and society as well ( 2 ). At the start of the pandemic, the World Health Organization pointed out that significant changes in developed daily patterns could result in an increase in the number of mental health problems for many people ( 3 ).…”

Background: The pandemic has increased the rates of violent behavior towards women by their partners worldwide. Increased time spent living with the abusive partner, working at home and limited social contact combined with socioeconomic characteristics contributed to the increase in this type of violence. Objective: To investigate the impact of pandemic COVID-19 and social determinants of health (SDOH) on the intimate partner violence (IPV) experienced by women from their partners. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to investigate the impact of COVID-19 and social determinants of health on violence experienced by women from their partner(s) as a consequence of incarceration. The Pubmed and Scopus databases were searched during December 2022, using the keywords “intimate partner violence”, “women”, “COVID-19”, “socioeconomic factors”, “social determinants of health”. Results: Of the 917 studies initially retrieved, 38 studies found an increased prevalence of women’s reported violence by their partners, 10 found a low prevalence, and 9 found no difference in prevalence before and during restraint. The most common forms of violence were psychological, physical and sexual. In 30 studies, social determinants such as socioeconomic level, education and living conditions were found to be associated with the prevalence of violence. Conclusion: There was an increase in violence against women during quarantine which was associated with the effect of social determinants. However, due to research limitations of the studies, additional research is needed to draw firm conclusions that can be generalized to the population.

“…The impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic is not only health-related but also economic and socioeconomic, as with other major disasters in the past [ 2 ]. In this context, the World Health Organization warned at the onset of the pandemic that serious interventions in existing daily routines could result in an increased number of mental health issues for many people [ 3 ].…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a burning social issue worldwide. According to global statistics, the incidence of IPV has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to restrictive measures (e.g., reduced social contacts, the need to stay at home often with a perpetrator in the same household). This study aims to provide data about the incidence of IPV and its associated factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic. A representative online sample of 429 Czech women living with a partner at least 3 months before COVID-19 participated in the study. In an online interview, women reported IPV incidents 3 months before and during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using non-parametric repeated measures ANOVA, a significant difference between the total IPV score and the given time periods was found. In addition, the results of the research showed a significant effect of the tension in the relationship with the partner, depression rate, and partner support on the total IPV score in the first and second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. These results bring important insights into IPV incidence during the COVID-19 pandemic and suggest factors that might lead to an increased risk of IPV.
