Análisis jurídico del alto índice de violencia intrafamiliar desde el inicio de la pandemia.

Abstract

Within the framework of the pandemic caused by the appearance of Covid-19, collateral effects arose such as the incidence and increase in cases related to domestic violence, which during health emergencies increased considerably in the number of cases of domestic violence compared to previous years because the confinement that the authorities ruled in order to control this deadly virus made families have to remain locked up, totally changing their daily lives. It is then that perhaps the lack of economic income in many cases, stress, despair, led to an increase in these cases, however not all were brought to the attention of the competent authorities for fear of reprisals from their partners. It is something unacceptable and that is why the risk of violence faced by women and their children during the current crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be ignored, we must consider that there are many forms of violence against women, which can have numerous negative consequences for them and their children, so the State must take the necessary corrections and protect minors from this environment of violence since they are part of the priority care group and in some cases are victims of double vulnerability due to the circumstances that concern them.
