Why was gbv increased during the CoD-19 lockdown​

The Lockdowns robbed people of their livelihood and the were unable to make a living. Many people became worried about how they would survive and this led to stress and sometimes people took this stress out on their partners.

With the lockdowns, people had to spend a lot of time with their partners cooped up in the same space. For people who already had a hostile relationship, GBV increased because there was no where to go to avoid confrontation which is what some women (and men) were able to do before the lockdowns.

A lot of women were cut off from the support of their family and friends by the lockdowns and so abusers took advantage of this to be more violent knowing that the women (and sometimes men) had no one to come and save them from their social relations structure.

industry had made the u.s. the richest nation in the world at this time. the second industrial revolution caused growth in industry and transportation, which allowed increased trade between nations.
