ARE THERE ANY SAFE SPACE FOR WOMEN DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC – A SHORT ANALYTICAL STUDY

Abstract

The prosperity of a society depends upon the development of men as well as of women. But the present scenario does not portray the same. Though, women have developed in various fields, still now they could not save themselves from violence i.e., physical, emotional and sexual abuse. The extent is so much that even in the time of pandemic like COVID-19, which itself is the unpredictable situation across the globe; women are having a difficult time staying indoors. The crimes against women suddenly ramped up after the announcement of lockdown not only in India but all over the world. Amidst this corona pandemic, a hidden shadow pandemic is emerging out i.e. domestic violence which will not end unlike the lockdown will one day. Therefore, Government should take serious steps to eradicate this grave menace from our country on one hand, and on the other hand, we, as responsible citizens, also should make some awareness, by reaching out to the victims and help them to get justices. Also, the citizens not only should help the victims from their abusers but also respect all women. They should not look down upon the women. They must be given desired respect and acknowledgement which they deserve in our society as a Woman is the epitome of love and patience.
