Women's Aid says it cannot be underestimated how difficult this time is going to be for women who are living with domestic violence in their homes. Chief Executive Sarah Benson told RTÉ's Drivetime that an increase is expected in the number of incidents of domestic abuse as a result of the coronavirus crisis. She said women self-isolating and working from home are at a greater risk from an abusive partner by being more exposed to their controlling behaviour, verbal abuse and violence. Ms Benson said: "Many of the opportunities that women use to try and access safe spaces or to gain some distance have effectively been reduced."

Pope Francis said society had to stand behind women victims of domestic violence, as abuse increased around the world during coronavirus lockdowns. The Pope praised women in frontline roles in helping society weather the crisis, mentioning doctors, nurses, police officers ,prison guards and sales staff in stores selling essential goods. The pope also praised the many women at home helping children, the elderly and the disabled. But, he said: "Sometimes they (women) risk being victims of violence in a cohabitation that they bear like a weight that is far too heavy."
