As COVID-19 continued to strain the health system, rising cases of domestic violence put women and their children in immediate danger. The UN reported that critical services to support women such as shelters, helplines, and support centres reached capacity.
We created this public service announcement (PSA) to highlight the COVID-19 Shadow Pandemic on November 25 to mark the first day of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence.
