The boundary is not limited to intimate partners, it can exist in any relationship residing in close confinement. Covid 19 has affected everyone across the globe, and due to which lockdown has been imposed to keep everyone safe. During this strained time those who are locked up in closed walls with their abuser are the vulnerable ones. The condition of people residing with abusers has worsened. In India National Commission of Women launched a WhatsApp number where victims who are in constant surrounding of the outrage can reach out for help. Chhattisgarh police rolled out a campaign called “Chuppitod” in order to handle the situation. Spain’s Canary Island introduces Mask 19 Campaign. The victim can reach out to the nearest pharmacy and ask for Mask 19` so that the pharmacy staff can enrol details to caution the cops. Italy, Spain and France turned vacant hotel rooms into short term accommodation for the victims leaving the victimizer.
