“…Furthermore, 25.5% of women had experienced domestic violence for the rst time in their life after the COVID-19 outbreak, with a higher rate for psychological violence (14.7%) in comparison to physical (7%) and sexual violence (8.4%). The prevalence of domestic violence in women older than 50 years, housewives, illiterate women, and low-income families was signi cantly higher than in other groups [13]Regardless of the administered tool to measure domestic violence in these two studies, it seems that, based on the present study's ndings, the prevalence of violence has declined since the early months of the COVID-19 outbreak. However, concerning the variable of age and its association with domestic violence, the ndings of this study are not in line with Fereydony's study; while, Yari et al reported similar results.…”

“…Yari et al (2020) reported that at the early COVID-19 outbreak, the prevalence of domestic violence against Iranian women aged 19 to 65 years old was moderate by 57.2% and severe by 26.1% [3]. In addition, the prevalence of violence increased from 54.2%, before the outbreak, to 65.4% [13], indicating the potential role of COVID-19 consequences in domestic violence. Evidence indicates an increased prevalence of social violence during the COVID-19 outbreak, while street quarrels considerably declined following imposed restrictions [14,15].…”

“…Another way the pandemic has affected society is through its effects on employment status and the economy. 29 Because of their low income, economically vulnerable people are more likely to worry about the treatment expenses if they get infected.

“…While there may not be the same barriers to reporting to hotlines as there are with police, they still represent measures of service usage, rather than the actual levels of IPV (Sorenson et al, 2021). Self-report surveys, which are less susceptible to reporting biases, have consistently observed a strong link between pandemic-related stressors and increased likelihood of experiencing violence, especially among women, including from economic consequences (Arenas-Arroyo et al, 2021), the inability to meet financial obligations (Béland et al, 2020), the time spent at home during lockdown (Perez-Vincent et al, 2020) and their partner’s unemployment (Fereidooni et al, 2021) or decrease in income due to COVID-19 (Perez-Vincent et al, 2020). These studies have been constrained in most instances by the absence of comparable baseline data (i.e., most surveys have been conducted after the beginning of the pandemic, and very few have been able to compare with pre-pandemic surveys).…”
