| Sumario: | During the period of confinement in Spain, from March to June 2020, there were eight murdered women victims of sexist violence, eleven less than in the same period of the previous year. In addition, the number of complaints decreased by 10.25% in the first four months and by 14.62% in the second four months of 2020. However, an increase of 41.1% in calls to 016 was confirmed from 14 December March to May 31. What in principle could indicate a decrease in gender-based violence, in reality revealed difficulties for the victims to ask for help during confinement, evidenced mainly by the increase in the use of silent means. This study performs a bibliographic review to reflect on how COVID-19 has affected gender-based violence. The current literature reviewed indicates that the conditions generated by confinement promote risk factors for gender-based violence. |
