About this forum
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to sheltering in the home for “safety” but what if you don’t feel safe in your home? This forum discusses intimate partner violence and the challenges that have emerged related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Panelists from the USA, New Zealand, and the UK discuss issues of domestic violence in their prospective countries, ways in which this is being addressed, and how we can promote safety during this time. This forum ends with a Q&A session with the audience.
