The pandemic has exacerbated problems linked to gender inequality. Likewise, as a consequence of the different measures of social isolation, violence against women has increased. Although home isolation is necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19, many women put their lives at risk by being forced to stay with their perpetrators at home. The concern is deep because although it is still too early to obtain complete data, some reports already give an alarming increase in violence against women around the world of at least 25%. In this sense, Latin America has been one of the most affected regions.
