# Domestic violence
Warning: for many, #stayathome is by no means a reassuring invitation. An increase of domestic violence at a time of forced domesticity, something that we can easily imagine, was plentifully in evidence in the first epicenter of the pandemic in China, where [divorces](https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/03/coronavirus-spike-in-divorces-as-fighting-couples-forced-into-isolation-report.html) have been spiking and the hashtag [#AntiDomesticViolenceDuringEpidemic #疫期反家暴#](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51705199) was used over 3,000 times in the last month.

An increase of domestic violence at a time of forced domesticity, something that we can easily imagine, was plentifully in evidence in the first epicenter of the pandemic in China, where [divorces](https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/03/coronavirus-spike-in-divorces-as-fighting-couples-forced-into-isolation-report.html) have been spiking and the hashtag [#AntiDomesticViolenceDuringEpidemic #疫期反家暴#](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51705199) was used over 3,000 times in the first month of the epidemic.
More recently, we have seen similar trends emerging in the second epicentre, Italy, a country notorious even in less difficult times for its high numbers of femicides at the hands of "those who hold the house keys". During the last few days, chilling videos of domestic violence have begun to circulate on social media. These are videos that we will not link here, but that feminist sentinels on the net are mapping and trying to contain the cases.
