Abstract
The only job which never gets a break is ‘house service’ and with more people living at home the work just adds on. There was a sudden rise of ‘reported’ domestic violence in many countries of the world. Media, social and print hold the key in disseminating awareness of household abuse and call upon neighbors, families and friends to report violence.
Keywords: COVID-19, Lockdown, Domestic violence.
