Seeking help was hampered by geographic, jurisdictional, economic and structural barriers. Nurses can be facilitators of breaking down these barriers through their practices (such as nursing consultations in primary care) or through political leadership in situations of pandemics, disasters and other extraordinary circumstances. |

Crisis Work Embedded in a Global Crisis: The Early Phase Impact of COVID-19 on Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence and Service Provisions
|
|
Examine the effect of COVID-19 on survivors of intimate partner violence; assess the effect of the pandemic on the provision of services related to intimate partner violence; and explore post-pandemic opportunities in cases of intimate partner violence. |
|
High unemployment rates among brown and black women during the COVID-19 pandemic worsened intimate partner violence and led to the search for shelters or protective institutions. Victims of intimate partner violence treated by these services did not seek out the police for fear of agents’ brutality and racist attitudes. The pandemic has brought to light the opportunity to speak more clearly about racial inequalities and social and economic disparities and how both reflect on the high rates of intimate partner violence among brown and black women. |
