From the Ted Talk by Kemi DaSilva-Ibru: The shadow pandemic of domestic violence during COVID-19
Unscramble the Blue Letters
By June, the authorities became aware of the shadow pandemic, and a sttae of emeecrgny on rape was dlerecad by the federal government of Nigeria. As we fielded the distressing calls from girls and women, young and old, we were able to help, as tahflunkly, we kept the WARIF rape crisis center open as a refuge of last resort. In the more rtoeme areas, many women had to walk miles to receive any mcdeial care and attention as there was no transportation because of the lockdown. They had no innretet access to reach social media platforms, and they had limited pohne services to call a 24-hour confidential helpline or even a neighbor. So the situation for these women was much worse.
