Dr. Anis Ben Brik, Associate Professor, Hamad Bin Khalifa University College of Public Policy, Doha, Qatar. Many families across the world have already entered into a “new normal” during this unprecedented period of quarantine. For many families, the shutdowns designed to halt the spread of Covid-19 mean disrupted education and childcare, possible health problems, violence, potential loss of household income, food insecurity and poverty. Family routines have been stripped away and been replaced by the challenge of creating a way of life that somehow manages to balance work with rest and prudence with peace. ESPANOL | ITALIANO |

Prof. Rafael Cerqueira Fornasier, Pontifício Instituto João Paulo II para Estudos sobre Matrimonio e Famìlia, Universidade Católica de Salvador, Brazil Last April, the World Health Organization (WHO) drew attention to the increase in cases of domestic violence in the world due to the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly against women. In Brazil, there is an increase in violence against the elderly, in addition to the increase in the rate of violence in general compared to the last two years. The Director-General of WHO, on April 3, stressing the increase in violence against women, suggested that the stress and tensions linked to family confinement during the quarantine period, loss of employment, decreased contact with relatives and friends could be risk factors.
