“Even though he was sitting there the whole time or following me around, I could lose myself in crocheting and block him out a bit.”
It is a situation victims of domestic abuse have suffered all over the globe, in what the UN is calling the “shadow pandemic” - a focus ofthis year. For every three months lockdown continues, the UN estimates an additional 15 million women are expected to be affected by intimate partner violence worldwide.
So Victoria tried to get through the long days by taking an online course. Even then, he would sit beside her as she studied, and check her internet history afterwards. “Even though he was sitting there the whole time, or following me around, I could lose myself in crocheting and block him out a bit. It was one of the only things that kept me going.’’
“My daughter had had enough of the way he controlled everybody, and how scared we were all the time,’’ Victoria says.It’s not clear what Victoria’s daughter told the mental health service but police visited the family home to check on her wellbeing. Her partner responded by going on a drinking binge, while she and the children hid upstairs.
Victoria says she is very relieved to have been given a place there. But repeated lockdowns have meant some families haven’t been able to move on, reducing space for others even as demand has soared by 150%.early on in lockdown, and over the past month demand has steadily increased again, the charity Refuge, which runs the helpline, says.
While the refuge has given Victoria a haven, she hasn’t been able to have much interaction with the outside world. For her own security, the refuge told her to change her phone number and to keep her new address secret, although she could let friends and family know she was safe.
More false compassion from the BBC. To little too late.
