Conservation. How do we make city street. How can we protect our tests. We cant difference to. The ideas environmental series of little 3000. 00. Called the corona virus quarantine is a great chance to test your musical talents its called redefault bake a cake but its no fun and games for everyone. Lock down can quickly become locked up for victims of Domestic Violence. We dont lock downs and quarantines are essential to suppressing coffee at 19 but they can trip. With abusive partners over the past weeks as economic and social pressures and fear have grown. Already fighting global surging Domestic Violence calls to abuse hotlines and Police Departments spiking around the globe. When the crisis broke out a policeman told me he was worried about a sudden rise in Domestic Violence he was right its happening behind closed doors in homes around the world and was a big issue in lebanon she simply wanted to live a happy life with their 4 children again without fear or pain. In mid april 1st 35 year old mother left her old life and fled to an Emergency Shelter for women here with the children shes trying to process the pain she experienced for more than 9 years she was mistreated and abused by her husband and her father in law. In the 1st few years he used to hit me in the face in the shoulder or stomp on my legs later he beat me with sticks and iron rods so badly that i had severe swelling and intense pain so i developed problems with my bones and joints because he always hit me in the same places. In beirut sexual abuse within the family is a widespread problem and often a taboo topic. Now the situation has gotten dramatically worse due to the coronavirus epidemic lebanons government has introduced a nighttime curfew most shops and businesses are closed and people are expected to stay home there behind the facades there have been some terrible scenes of domestic abuse. As it got increasingly worse he became more and more violent and he knew that i could not go to my parents because of the night the curfew everyone stays at home. To cope with 19 pandemic came at a time when lebanon was experiencing its worst financial crisis in decades the currency is struggling unemployment is on the rise and wages have been cut in some cases up to 50 percent aid organizations say many men are bringing their frustration and anger at home with them and taking it out and they wives ability to say that most women who get in contact with us are victims of Domestic Violence the situation is getting worse because of the curfew and the konami concessional pressure especially because the perpetrators are always at home no one they and they if thats what they are but organization is stepping up its activities that when ben is throughout the city calling for an end to the violence and offering a hotline to get help its an attempt to encourage many woman to break from this silence. And its working the group is getting more and more calls so far this year theyve already were see. Twice as many calls as in 2019. And i have just in the last month we had about 300. 00 calls 240. 00 new cases. The others had already made contact with us and more and more women want to come to our shelters. Because if. This brave woman is one of them shes refusing to take the abuse any longer and is now filing charges against her husband a clear signal in a time of crisis. The europe had of the World Health Organization says the agency is deeply troubled by reports of increasing Domestic Violence and is sounding the alarm. For 6 months we will expect an extra 31000000. 00 cases of gender based violence globally beyond the figures only a fraction of cases is ever boarded only a fraction thats deeply troubling junko gupta joins us from George Mason University college of health and Human Services a lot of us live in loving homes and how to magine the fear of pain of abuse or being trapped with your abuser give me an idea of what thats like for these women. Yes its very scary and eiseley and the figures that the you show your sound that you just made there are alarming but theyre certainly not very surprising for those of us who study the epidemiology of violence against women and those who provide services we know from patterns following other crises such as Natural Disaster or the ebola at the demick that balance against women is increase following these large scale crises these figures are really incredible i mean the w. H. O. Is saying 60 percent of women just in europe are affected i mean every 2nd woman prayed and this is on the back of violence against women specifically intimate Partner Violence which is files that occurs within romantic relationships. Even before this coronavirus crises it was quite high a global estimates from the w. H. O. Show that one in 3 women will report experiencing physical or Sexual Violence from a romantic partner at some point in her lifetime lets return to hans clover for the w. H. O. For just one moment listening to this. Exam have it is this a duty as an officer for help with the full goal pharmacist in spain and france be alerted through good works. Oh to sit in front and belgium have been converted to shelters green and has limited the sale of gold to make the home environment safer for children let me explain that last point maybe a 3rd of people in greenland suffered sexual abuse in their childhood this crisis is uncovering one horror after the next how do you keep kids safe if their parents are the perpetrators yes its very difficult for children as well because. People in their lives who would have been in a position to help teachers pediatricians stills types of things are all closed now so i think one important thing to keep in mind in this is true for balance against women as well as violence against children is that family and friends can continue to try to maintain connections just because theyre physically distancing doesnt mean that we cant have a social connection we can all try to become familiar with help lines that are operational either through phone or by tatts we can all also develop code words with family members so that if somebody is in trouble they can signal through a code word just similar to the clip that you just played about the code words being used in some countries but but but is that it is the only Options Family and friends i mean what about people who dont have family and friends. So Health Care Workers obviously the are overwhelmed at this point but they can certainly become familiar with the risks. Sheltering plays and lock down for both violence against women and children and refer to resources Talent Health is being use more frequently for white men so exploring how tell a health can be used to make those were her in a safe manner as well to come to thank you very much for being on the show today. Thank you now to your questions all across the virus is our science correspondent eric williams. What do you think will happen after lockdown is a 2nd wave very likely. Where no one can predict the future i mean who would have predicted that wed be here a couple of months ago but a 2nd wave is certainly possible whats still up in the air is exactly what form it could take and in a great article i read this week some top experts from the us talked about what might happen next after mitigation measures are the best now their models are based on data from past influenza pandemics they hypothesized 3 different scenarios and the 1st the current spike in cases of covert 19 would be followed by a series of repeating smaller waves every few months for the next couple of years right into 2022 in their 2nd scenario we would see a fall this summer but cova 1000. 00 would come back with a vengeance this fall and winter after that big spike in cases there would be smaller spikes and 2021 with the pandemic only starting to peter out in late 2021 in the 3rd scenario they postulate which they called slow burn there isnt a big 2nd wave that would mean were going through the worst of things now and depending on mitigation measures the infection will remain with us in the future but without a clear wave pattern one way or the other they say we have to be prepared for at least another 2 years of significant covert 19 activity. If antibodies only work for a limited time is there a risk a vaccine will only protect you for a limited time. Yes there is that risk although antibodies are only one part of the immune response when you contract of disease or are given the vaccine were still on. A very steep learning curve when it comes to questions of immunity to cover 19 we arent even sure whether some or all of us really do become immune after were infected or if we do become immune how long that immunity might last with other coronaviruses we develop immunity but it isnt permanent so yes its possible and even likely that any vaccine against this pathogen will not provide partment protection from any future infections but at this point even if the vaccine provided us with a year or 2 of immunity that would be a big win and.
