Beethoven is for. Me. Beethoven is for. Beethoven is for. Beethoven 2020 to 50000 or verse 3 here on d. Dont you know. Its a Pressure Cooker situation for millions of women around the world. The coronavirus lockdowns have simply been brutal im announcing a coded 19 response pass force. On domestic and gender based violence. Domestic violence is rampant in russia for example where up to 40 percent of all Violent Crimes occur within families and reports suggest that cases more than doubled last month. Pope francis has meanwhile asked the world to pray for peace within families as the lockdowns endure. But experts say that women need to wreck to systems. And that includes access to modern day contraception as unintended pregnancies rise. And in some countries maternal deaths search. Welcome to our coven 1900. 86 for joining Us South Africa is gradually easing its lock down which was widely considered one of the worlds most severe limits on contact an outdoor exercise kept more families inside and resulted in a surge of violence at home life is returning to the streets of cape town but the sale of alcohol and tobacco us still bad and tensions are rising. This is a Selfhelp Group for women who faced violence under lockdown they meet in Caroline Peters backyard. She was the victim of a gang rape when she was young now she helps other women who are abused by men who missed the county police because from this new member main office they could be nothing i mean the home they are going to take you to be one of these did you take into the highland mean hes able to move around to means that the violence has moved back into backgrounds rates of gender based violence against women in south africa are among the highest in the world and its only worsened since the start of the lockdown according to these women and they agreed to let us film in the hope it would encourage other women to speak out. Kims life has been marked by alcohol drugs and physical violence she also says its become worse on the lock down. Everything is said ive been through it too. I have to tell you something important so i want to stand up. If this is ive made a decision that i havent told anyone yet enough is enough i cant live like this my boyfriend hits me in front of my son. I cannot love this man im going to take my bag and leave. Now its the time for action kims already packed her bags but they have to go and get her 6 year old son. Its a dangerous situation kims partner doesnt know whats about to happen she stopped taking crystal meth a week ago and is leaving after 18 drug filled years together hes stunned but doesnt get violent. Kim has taken an important step. She reassures her son telling him shell keep him safe. Where theyre going nobodys going to hit anybody and. People there will be kind and shes going to be a better mother. Would be. Kim and her son can stay at a shelter for 3 months but their problems are still waiting for them on the outside. And im joined now by kelli opium in jiro who leads a u. N. Effort to curb violence against women and Elizabeth Ali shes an expert in Reproductive Health institute welcome to you both. Lets start with you we just looked at south africa but this uptick in Domestic Violence is a global problem and whats driving it. Thank you 1st the disunity that these a global phenomenon we know that one city women face globally physical or Sexual Violence and in the majority they face these findings may need them an act of violence but what they really want to emphasize its not just the mystic vitamins they meet the movement than the movements they have clearly indicate that its. Against women and they see its a form of violation but it happens everywhere at home at work at school when women get the are on their way to school and to work and will drive its much deeper and it doesnt have to do with some. Bad actors and acts doesnt have to do with some grad the acts but the cash to do with power and control and how abuse or success control all the partners and women and gets in their lifes challenges facing families go beyond Domestic Violence and into womens Reproductive Health care the good luck institute says a 10 percent drop in Reproductive Health care and low and middle come countries due to the coronavirus would put modern contraception out of reach for a projected 50000000. 00 more women unintended pregnancies would shoot up same for newborns and thousands more women would die during pregnancy there also be 3000000. 00 more unsafe abortions. Elizabeth want to turn to you here those are bracing numbers what do they look like for women and families. Youre right they are shocking numbers and this is just with a 10 percent decline we dont know if thats what were going to see or not thats potentially a pretty conservative estimate of how services are going to be distracted because what we see are that policies latin access and redirected resources that are all going to threaten womens ability to access these services and its not its not going to play out equally in all countries and all women countries that are to have Strained Health care systems are going to suffer the worst consequences and people who are marginalized in our bill who are he had trouble accessing the service is those barriers are going to be further exacerbated during 1000 hand and this is really playing out in a context. Im sorry that you mentioned redirected resources is that what it takes to get things back on track here is basically redirecting those resources back to their original purpose here was there something more that needs to be done at a time of these lockdowns. There is a lot more that can be than i think there are 5 key actions that can be taken that are not just about resources its about how were using those resources the 1st is we need governments to declaring make it clear that sexual and Reproductive Health care is an essential service that women can access this care during lockdowns without fear of legal consequences for traveling for care we also need to protect and should we need to protect and strengthen the supply chains theres concern for the global disruptions and supply chains and so we need to focus on how those are working at the national and regional level to make sure that sexual and Reproductive Health pharmaceuticals and making it providers and patients we also need to we need to dispense our pharmaceuticals differently so we need to allow women to access contraception without a prescription we need to decentralise the distribution of those commodities and we also need to consider multipath just senses a contraception so we need to change how our peraino services to begin that we can also think about models of care and that can be done really important this time as an option so theres safety and think differently about how were providing our care and then i think the 5th and really important point is we need to focus on the unique needs marginalized and all about you lesions that we need to make sure that they are not being forgotten when we are trying to ensure that its actually part of health care is being protected in this moment. Briefly want to in with you do you get the sense that societies are taking action to do more against Domestic Violence at this time briefly if you could. Made to do much more especially when we know that Service Providers right now they face immense challenges and if we consider that. The basic Service Provided this are womens organizations that big have been struggling with financial state even before call the one thing what they face right now is even to for them to close down themselves and we dont know in one year or in the longet which winch organizations wouldnt be there in place to provide services for survivors so we need to provide support to all do womens organizations to continue providing these services but also what we need in the longer term. And increased. By did i look to programs that respond to violence against women and go in the long term all right we have to leave it there cull you can enjoy with the u. N. And elizabeth solely with the good luck institute thank you both very much. Now its time for your questions its going our science correspondent derrick williams. Rushes a high symptom of coverage 19. The w. H. O. Recently included rashes and skin discoloration on the fingers and toes and its official list of less common symptoms for a covert 19 they can range from from high of like groups of red bones to the larger flatter lesions to a to a condition that affects the feet that superficially resembles frostbite whats being dubbed. It still isnt clear whether the virus itself is causing these symptoms directly or if they can be triggered by the bodys immune response theres also still a lot of uncertainty about how common different kinds of skin reactions are in different groups of patients and and also on the timing for when they show up studies are ongoing. Which medical professionals are responsible for into painting a patient i couldnt find an unequivocal answer to this question but i can tell you what i did learn intimidation is one of the emergency procedures used to treat patients who are experiencing severe respiratory distress some emergency medical clinicians are trained to carry it out in life or death situations in the field because it involves placing a ventilating too deep into your trachea though its obviously much safer to perform and then today sion in the hospital where patients are sedated before the to Business Services so so i assume an anesthesiologist would generally carry out the procedure or a properly trained Critical Care physician. And before we go some good news. Pet owners in california can pamper their pooches once again the golden state easing coronavirus restrictions to include mobile dogs part of those hundreds of pet lovers have already made appointments staff are kitted out with gloves and masks and Hand Sanitizer and they clean the van with detergent between each pet appointment but while dogs can get in hairdos their owners will have to wait a little longer.
