Question: Why does the risk of violence against women go up during COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Violence against women during COVID-19
section_headers: How does COVID-19 increase risks of violence for women?
section_content: Stress, the disruption of social and protective networks, loss of income and
decreased access to services all can exacerbate the risk of violence for
women.
In many countries, where people are encouraged or required to stay at home,
the risk of intimate partner violence is likely to increase. Please see the
following resource for more detail:

full-text.pdf

In addition, access to sexual and reproductive health services will likely
become more limited. Other services, such as hotlines, crisis centers,
shelters, legal aid, and protection services, may also be reduced, making it
difficult for women to access the few sources of help that would usually be
available.

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Violence against women during COVID-19
section_headers: Why should I care about violence against women during COVID-19?
section_content: Violence against women is a grave violation of women’s human rights, no matter
when, where, or how it takes place. There are many forms of violence against
women, which have many potential negative health consequences for women and
their children.
Violence against women can result in injuries and serious physical, mental,
sexual and reproductive health problems, including sexually transmitted
infections, HIV, and unplanned pregnancies. In extreme cases, violence against
women can result in death.
The effects of violence are very often long-lived. Violence – in all its forms
– can have an impact on a woman’s well-being throughout the rest of her life.
This is unacceptable, and the risks of violence that women and their children
face during the current COVID-19 crisis cannot be ignored.
When we are able to prevent violence, or to support women survivors of
violence, we help to safeguard women’s human rights, and promote physical and
mental health and well-being for women throughout their lives. This also helps
to alleviate pressure on already stretched essential public services,
including the health system.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Focuses more on the types of violence that are visited on women and only mentions COVID-19 in passing which is not the same thing as explaining why women's risk for violence being visited upon them is increased during the pandemic.
This information does not answer the question asked. The question is asking for information on why violence against women increased during Covid-19. However, the answer provides information on the effects of violence against women on their mental and physical health.

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Violence against women during COVID-19
section_headers: Who is most vulnerable?
section_content: Women who are displaced, who are migrants or refugees, and those living in
conflict-affected areas, older women and women with disabilities are
particularly at risk of violence and are likely to be disproportionately
affected by violence during COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer merely states that women are affected by violence during COVID-19 but does not explain why other than giving the inference that they are vulnerable.
This answer provides information on what groups of women are particularly at risk of violence or affected by violence during Covid-19 and does not provide any information on why the risk of violence against women increased during Covid-19 as asked in the question.
