Coronavirus: domestic violence on the rise during confinement in China
Testimonies of women and children beaten in the closed door imposed by the Covid-19 have multiplied, especially on social networks.
On February 19, Mr. Shi, 23, a resident of Shenzhen, wanted to go for a drink. "With confinement, now is not the time," said his girlfriend, Ms. Cao. So he decides to drink at home. And wants to force his partner to imitate him. She refuses. He beats her, throws her against the walls and threatens to strangle her. Before falling asleep.
At 7 am, Ms. Cao went to the police station. "Why harm your friend who has a good situation?" Asked the policeman. However, since May 2016, domestic violence has been recognized as a crime punishable by law. She returns a little later, but a second police officer tells her to go to the hospital first.
