India's Domestic Abuse Survivors Are in Lockdown With Their Abusers, But the Helplines Are Not Ringing

In the rural parts of Varanasi too, Shruti Nagvanshi , Founder of 'People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights, said that domestic abuse has escalated. "There's hunger and no income. The men are going through a feeling of helplessness and turning that into violence on women. Gaali, maarpit, torture have become regular," she said. But the activist, too, has been telling the women to 'not fight' in this period of lockdown. "We are telling them they have to tolerate," she said.
