"Shadow Pandemic": Predator and PreyA Story by ANU"Shadow Pandemic": How Gender-based violence increased during Lockdown?

Not safe in the womb, not safe in the house, not safe in the streets, not safe in the dark, not safe in the light, not safe in suits, not safe in shorts, not safe in burquas, not safe anywhere, or let us say 'NOT SAFE AMONG MEN'. If we talk about women, she may have realized that she is not safe in the public only until her husband, father, brother, uncle, son, or let us say "men", made her realize that her own house wasn't safe either.
Gender-based violence is a hidden consequence. It has appeared as a harsh reality when survival becomes the question. The lockdown which was imposed in March, to curb COVID 19 infections, lead to great challenges, mainly faced by women and children. Women individuals suffering violence at home feared unsafe to live because of selfish humans. On one hand, where people were suffering to struggle for their basic needs like food and shelter, on the other, the worst happened with the women. The organizations like UN Women, Ministry of Women and Child Development, and many more published various reports which proved that women were not safe at home. The difficulties arose when women and children didn't have any means to contact these government and non-government organizations. So, suffering silently was the only option left for them. Maximum were the girl children who were abused by their family members at home and couldn't approach any organization for protection.
