520 _aThis Briefing has been compiled quickly by the EVAW Coalition in an attempt to set out the consequences that COVID-19, and the necessary public health measures being implemented to control it, may have for women and girls who are experiencing or who are at risk of violence. It is clear and foreseeable now that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the emergency measures that must be taken to control it, will lead to an increase in all forms violence against women and girls, including domestic and sexual violence. The ongoing planning of the response must factor in this predictable impact, and include strategies to protect women and girls and prevent assaults and murders before they happen. This requires leadership at the highest level of Government, and from those leading key areas of public life: policing, health, schools, communities and welfare. Women and girls have rights to protection and safety, and it is everyone’s business to be part of the prevention of abuse.(From the Executive summary).
