Violence against women (VAW) worsened globally during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns. For example, a woman in France was killed every 3 days during lockdown. At the same time in South Africa, a woman was killed every 3 h. This paper presents and analyzes the risk factors that have worsened during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns and the subsequent economic consequences of mitigation policies. The purpose of this paper is twofold: (a) to conduct a critical review of international extant literature regarding government policies related to VAW since the beginning of the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns that began in early 2020, and (b) to suggest opportunities for nurses to influence health policy development and social norms related to VAW. Thematic synthesis of the findings present interventions that helped to mitigate VAW during Covid-19 and is followed by a discussion of findings in relation to social determinants of health and human rights. A gender-based policy approach that focuses on the human right to be free of all forms of violence must be a leading strategy as governments reallocate resources and rebuild economies in the wake of this pandemic.
在新冠疫情封锁期间，全球范围内针对妇女的暴力行为（VAW）有所恶化。例如，在封锁期间，法国每三天就有一名妇女被杀害。与此同时，南非每 3 小时就有一名妇女被杀害。本文介绍并分析了在新冠疫情封锁期间恶化的风险因素，以及随后减轻这些风险的政策的经济后果。本文的目的有两个：（a）对自 2020 年初全球新冠疫情封锁开始以来，与针对妇女的暴力行为相关的政府政策的国际现有文献进行批判性回顾；（b）为护士提供机会，影响与针对妇女的暴力行为相关的卫生政策制定和社会规范。通过对研究结果的主题综合，提出了在新冠疫情期间有助于减轻针对妇女的暴力行为的干预措施，并讨论了这些干预措施与健康的社会决定因素和人权之间的关系。以关注免受一切形式暴力的人权为重点的基于性别的政策方法，必须成为各国政府在这场大流行病之后重新分配资源和重建经济的主导战略。
