Background: Violence against women is a social problem that has serious consequences on women’s physical, and psychosocial well-being. The violence against women ultimately also affects children, families, and society as a whole. This study aimed to identify the experience of domestic violence against women during pregnancy. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among purposively selected 302 postnatal mothers of postpartum A, B and Gynae ward of Patan Hospital. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured interview schedule. Data were analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics version 20.0 using descriptive statistics. Results: Postnatal mothers experienced sexual violence by their husbands (8.9%), physical violence (12.9%), and emotional violence (43%) from their husbands and or family members. Regarding other forms of violence, mothers experienced not being given nutritious food during pregnancy (38.4%) and violence by their mother-in-law (45.4%). Likewise, few number of mothers have reported the violence (17.2%). Among them, 76.9% reported the incident of violence to the maternal side. Conclusions: The findings suggest a concerning prevalence of various forms of violence against postnatal mothers like sexual, physical, and emotional. Among those form of violence, existence of emotional violence was high and often perpetrated by husbands or family members. Moreover, the low reporting rates highlight the urgent need for enhanced support structures and interventions to empower victims and address the underlying issues contributing to this pervasive problem.

“…Although it is challenging to ascertain the exact reasons why, it is intuitively speculated that this relates to increased economic stressors related to employment instability or loss, increased isolation, and illness [31].

Purpose of reviewThe global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) viral outbreak and the rise of the anti-Black racism movement have produced a dual pandemic over the past few years, which has been associated with a dramatic rise in gun violence across the United States. This comprehensive review was performed to examine the current levels of gun violence in the context of these dual pandemics, delineate factors which have synergistically produced this surge in interpersonal violence, and propose future directions.Recent findingsDual pandemics have mutually contributed to a worsening in many social determinants of health and thereby have had a particularly dramatic impact on many of our most vulnerable patients, including patients of minority races and ethnicities, in terms of interpersonal violence. Firearm injuries are at their highest rate in decades. The challenges in the trauma care of these patients have been compounded by staffing and resource shortages related to the COVID-19 pandemic and attrition of medical workers related to burnout.SummaryConsequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the anti-Black racism movement have produced a social environment in the United States in recent years where interpersonal violence, especially firearm injuries, have surged. Particularly, during a time of challenged patient care delivery, the medical system struggles to support the increase in trauma volume. A broad approach to improving social determinants of health should be pursued in order to decrease the risk of gun violence from the recent near-historical high levels.
