Trafficking, domestic violence rose due to coronavirus lockdown, finds Parliamentary panel

Representational image. | Shailesh Andrade/Reuters The coronavirus-induced lockdown led to a spurt in cases of domestic violence and trafficking, said a Parliamentary panel in its report, tabled on Monday. The report by Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs, which is headed by Congress Rajya Sabha MP Anand Sharma, recommended that cash transfers and moratorium on loan repayments be continued to empower women, reported The Indian Express. “The Committee notes that there was a sudden spurt in domestic violence and trafficking of women and children during the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic outbreak,” said the report. “This was mainly due to disruption in economic activities, work from home and family spending more time at home during lockdowns. The female migrant workers and their children were trafficked and had gone missing during lockdowns.”
