    Coronavirus lockdown: France to shift domestic violence victims to hotels
  • Amid the coronavirus outbreak, as lockdowns across several parts of the world forced people indoors, the incidents of domestic abuse have surged.

    In France, since the lockdown was imposed on March 17, domestic abuse cases have risen by 32% and two women have been killed.

    To tackle the problem, the French government has announced hotel stays for women to escape abusive households.

  • French Gender Equality Minister Marlene Schiappa said Monday the government would pay for 20,000 hotel nights for domestic abuse victims.

    Schiappa said around 20 counseling centers would be established around the country, where women could seek help while getting groceries by using a code word.

    An additional €1 million has been set aside for anti-domestic abuse organizations to match the increased demand for services.

  • Coronavirus in France

    Over 3,500 coronavirus deaths reported in France

  • France has reported over 52,000 cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and 3,532 deaths.

    Since March 17, France has been on lockdown, which will last until April 15. People are only allowed to leave their homes to buy food or medication, visit doctors, get exercise or walk a pet.

    Domestic abuse cases have risen 32% in France (36% in Paris) since the lockdown was announced.

  • Similar occurrences of increased domestic violence have been reported across the world.

    In China's Hubei—home to Wuhan where the COVID-19 outbreak began—domestic violence nearly doubled during the lockdown, a Jingzhou-based non-profit told South Tone earlier in March.

  • BBC spoke to a woman, identified as Geeta (27) from rural India, who told the publication how the COVID-19 outbreak has worsened the abuse she has always faced at home.

    Geeta said since schools are shut, her four children stay inside their one-room house all day, much to her husband's chagrin.

    The income he earned as an auto driver has also lessened significantly.

    'Kids see him throw things, pull me by the hair'

  • Geeta said, "[The children] have seen their father angry but past few weeks have been worse. They've seen him throw things against the wall and pull me by the hair," adding she tries to draw her husband's ire to herself to keep the kids safe.
