Abstract
A REVIEW OF THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA
THEME 3: Strategies toward the normative development of society
SUB 3.1 Promoting egalitarianism in intimate and other relationships as responses to Gender-based violence and femicide
Oral Presentation
The COVID-19 pandemic is a crisis that has negatively affected the ordinary functioning of people worldwide and continues to increase rapidly. The study sought to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender-based violence in South Africa. To understand GBV against women, the radical feminist theory which is based on the oppression of women in a social order dominated by subordination, including through sexuality and bodies was used. Data were obtained from secondary sources, journal articles, news articles, and news reports on GBV. Findings indicate that COVID-19 restrictions and regulations have contributed to gender-based violence. The study also found a high prevalence of gender-based violence during the lockdown, particularly against women. These findings reflect that South Africa is fighting yet another deadly pandemic of gender-based violence. This study also provides implications for social work policy and practice. It can be concluded that this pandemic has brought massive misery across the world, especially regarding violence.
