Domestic violence rates expected to spike amid social distancing, advocacy group warns
Reading now: 462
A Calgary group is sounding the alarm about the potential for increased acts of domestic violence as Albertans attempt to practice social distancing and self-quarantine in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Calgary Domestic Violence Collective serves as a voice for agencies that are working to end domestic and sexual violence in Calgary.
On Wednesday, the group warned that self-isolation could be a risk to the safety and security of victims of domestic violence because life at home may pose a danger to them. “We expect that this pandemic response will lead to increased rates of domestic violence for an extended period of time in Calgary and across Alberta,” the CDVC cautioned.
