The UN has described gender-based, family and domestic violence as the shadow “pandemic within a pandemic.” Those affected by violence are likely to be at even greater risk during COVID-19. MAWS has worked with family violence organizations across Canada to develop a fact sheet on the three considerations for supporting those affected by intimate partner violence during the pandemic.
