Covid-19: Exacerbation of violence, struggle, and silence
Omayma Achour
Abstract
This article aims to highlight the underlying causes that perpetuate violence against girls and women during the Covid-19 crisis and the measures needed to reduce it.
It also intends to assess the effectiveness of Law 103-13 on gender-based violence in terms of managing its effects, especially since public policies seem to focus only on short-term responses to fundamentally structural problems. Finally, it will also enable us to draw conclusions about the strategies capable of reconciling the imperative of strengthening equality and the objective of establishing a unified, egalitarian, and equitable strategy for the reduction of violence against women.
