The COVID-19 outbreak led to widespread disruption and stress to people's lives. Concern about the escalation of domestic violence (DV) rates and related mental health issues soon emerged following the implementation of strategies aimed at curbing the spread of the virus. This perspective paper presents an overview of the issues, argues for greater recognition of the link between DV against women and serious emotional distress, and the need for greater awareness and knowledge about DV among mental health professionals. While we acknowledge that men also experience DV, their rates are much lower than for women and in this paper our focus is on women.
新冠疫情大流行导致人们的生活受到广泛干扰和压力。在实施旨在遏制病毒传播的策略后,人们很快开始担忧家庭暴力(DV)发生率的上升和相关心理健康问题。本文主要概述了这些问题,认为需要更加重视 DV 与女性严重情绪困扰之间的联系,以及提高心理健康专业人员对 DV 的认识和了解。虽然我们承认男性也会遭受 DV,但他们的发生率远低于女性,因此本文的重点是女性。
