| Popis: | The incidents of violence against women have increased worldwide since the lockdowns were implemented (UN Women, 2020). As per the statistics released by the National Commission for Women (NCW) in early April 2020, there has been 100 % increase in complaints related to violence against women after the nationwide lockdown was imposed in March 2020. The aim of this study is to compare the frequency and type of violence against Moroccan women, during this critical period when the aggressor and the victim are under the same roof. This is a descriptive study, established via a questionnaire that was published online to all women living in a couple and exploring the sociodemographic characteristics and the types of violence suffered. 431 results were collected. The results objectify that acts of violence in the conjugal context have increased considerably. In ours ample, they are due to first physical violence, then psychological violence followed by economic violence. The prevalence did not change in our sample, unlike the frequency which increased considerably. Therefore, we need a global collective effort to stop it and everyone has a role to play to prevent domestic violence. |
