You might have heard of this phrase since last year -- “a pandemic within a pandemic.” As we all know, the Covid-19 pandemic isn’t just a health crisis, but indirectly contributes to a whole host of other issues, including the rise of domestic violence and abuse. The first MCO saw a sharp surge in domestic violence against women. One year later and Malaysia is still under various stages of lockdown and NGOs have continued to ring the alarm bells, highlighting intensified domestic abuse. Shazana Agha, Head of Research at WAO, joins us to share suggestions on how the government can attempt to handle the problem.
