Extra Edition: Domestic Abuse Pandemic.
Domestic abuse has spiked since the start of the Covid pandemic in January 2020. Quarantine-linked domestic violence is the “shadow pandemic,” with communities of color affected the most, because they have lower income and less access to social services. What to know about domestic violence during the pandemic? This is a repeat interview.
Guests: María de Jesús Jiménez, Support Services Program Director, Mujeres Unidas y Activas, San Francisco, CA.
