Abstract
With the COVID-19 pandemic, staying at home, social isolation and many protection measures that will prevent the transmission of the virus have been implemented by the states with regard to the recommendations of the World Health Organization Although such social isolation decisions prevent the community transmission of the COVID-19 pandemic, they also brought others together. While the houses are seen as a safe place to protect against the virus, there has been a pandemic of violence against women in the home. Since the decisions of social isolation, applications and emergency calls regarding intimate partner violence have increased and women have been exposed to violence more frequently and more seriously than before the pandemic. This study differentiates factors that show co-growth of intimate partner violence in psychosocial crises such as pandemics. The research shows that spousal violence occurs throughout societies regardless of socio-economic and educational status, long-term sharing of homestay and economic losses caused by the pandemic are important variables that increase spousal violence.Keywords
