Please join the WE EMPOWER G7 team for the Domestic Violence During COVID-19: Supporting Your Employees webinar. Lockdowns, social distancing and other restrictions have left millions of women and girls vulnerable to a growing shadow pandemic of domestic violence, cyberviolence and exploitative grooming of children who have limited access to help. In France, reports of domestic violence have increased by 30% since the lockdown on 17 March.
The COVID-19 pandemic is putting an unprecedented and significant strain on the global economy and public health systems.
