Hidden Scars: the Impact of Violence and the COVID-19 Pandemic on Women’s Mental Health
With the COVID-19 epidemic, there is an escalation in the risk millions face from being affected by domestic and gender-based violence which does not only leave a scare on the physical body but also on the mental body.
