Whilst we are all being told to stay at home during the Covid-19 health crisis to help protect ourselves and others, only being allowed to leave our homes for essential work, food and medicine supplies or for exercise, for women experiencing domestic abuse this situation is causing them huge anxiety, leaving them feeling even more vulnerable and at risk of further abuse. Self-isolation means that many women are now essentially trapped in their homes in abusive relationships in fear of further violence or danger and unable to seek help and support exit routes.
