Abstract

Global statistics suggest that there has been an increase in intimate partner violence during the COVID-19 pandemic. The reason may be restrictive measures (eg home isolation, often with an aggressor in the same household) which have been put in place in most of the countries affected by COVID-19 infection.

An online questionnaire survey was conducted during 2020 in the Laboratory of Evolutionary Sexology and Psychopathology, focusing on the incidence of intimate partner violence. The results will be shown in this presentation.
