| description | Whereas there is an abundance of literature linking gender based violence (GBV) in
the aftermaths of natural related disasters, the linkage with health related emergency
pandemic is scanty. However, some studies have analyzed GBV and Ebola and
Zika virus epidemic in Liberia in 2014-16 1 and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
in 2018, GBV and HIV 2,3 and gender/GBV and Covid-19. With the prevailing coronavirus
(covid-19) global pandemic, which has driven countries to declare lockdowns,
cases of GBVhave also spiraled. The increasing cases of GBV amidst the
coronavirus pandemic highlight the importance of the relationship between GBV
and health related emergingepidemics or pandemic situations. Particular questions
GBV and Covid-19 such as: Have cases of GBV or threats of violenceincreased since
Covid-19 Lockdown in Uganda? Why and how do GBV occur in health related emergency
situations? What are the implications for policy and research? These and
other questions are worthy reflecting on and responding to. |
