Question: What types of legislation can help women who may be victims of domestic violence during the lock down?

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.

section_headers: I am a policy maker. What can I do to prevent and address violence against women during COVID-19?
section_content: 

When making preparedness and response plans for the COVID-19 pandemic, include essential services for violence against women. 


Allocate adequate resources for services for survivors and identify ways to make them accessible – particularly in the context of measures to restrict people’s movement. 


Explore the use of telemedicine, digital health, or mhealth to enhance access to support and services for survivors, while ensuring this is safe for them. 


Explore alternative shelters for women who may require this. 


Ensure that lockdown measures do not penalize women for seeking support when experiencing violence, such as by going to the police or hospital to report violence.
