Malaysia has seen a spike in the number of domestic violence cases following the Movement Control Order , which was imposed since March 18. This is based on data gathered from the Women and Family Development Ministry and NGOs attending to domestic violence cases.
“There is indeed a slight increase in cases, largely due to stress being confined to their homes. The situation is, however, still under control. “Domestic violence survivors are at greater risk because they are trapped in the house all day with the abuser. It is also more dangerous for them to seek help, as the abuser may be monitoring their every move.”
“Among 20 former residents of WAO’s domestic violence shelter, 30 per cent were unable to work due to the MCO, 25 per cent were still looking for a job, while another five per cent had their salaries deducted due to the MCO.” She said people called up WCC to request for financial, food, grocery aid and a few people experiencing anxiety and loneliness due to the MCO.
“Before the MCO, survivors of gender-based violence could get help from neighbours, relatives, doctors and even the postmen. With the MCO, outside contact is minimised, for good reasons of course. But it does not take away the fact that survivors are at greater risk of abuse and violence.
More time together should be saviour among each other . If the violence occur that means you are never meant for each other in the first place . End of story .
