STUDY: A Rapid Assessment on GBV During COVID-19 Pandemic in Iraq
The spread of the Covid-19 virus and the precautions taken to limit its effects have generated impacts and consequences that exceed the health aspect to include the social, economic, and psychological fields.
It also increased variety, inequality, and discrimination against marginalized groups, and created conditions and factors that exposed women and children to more violence. Its impact on populations living in emergency humanitarian contexts has been much greater, in particular the displaced and refugees’ women who have left their homes due to conflicts in Iraq and Syria, and women in host communities who already suffer from lack of services and harsh living conditions, as well as the marginalization and inequality they face before the pandemic as a result of their situation.
