Abstract

The COVID-19 crisis has brought much attention to domestic violence, but why has this invisible pandemic not been addressed before now? Maria Luísa Moreira looks at the denial by EU member states of the structural gendered inequalities in our societies that have led to alarming domestic violence figures and calls for greater recognition of, and action against, everyday experiences of gender-based violence happening behind closed doors.
