Beethoven is for. Beethoven is for every. Beethoven 2020 to 50000 or verse 3 here on d w. Its a Pressure Cooker situation for millions of women around the world. The coronavirus lockdowns have simply been brutal im announcing a coded 19 response taskforce. On domestic and gender based violence. Domestic violence is rampant in russia for example where up to 40 percent of all Violent Crimes occur within families and reports suggest the cases more than doubled last month. Pope francis has meanwhile asked the world to pray for peace within families as the lockdowns endure. But experts say that women need to wreck to systems. And that includes access to modern day contraception as unintended pregnancies rise. And in some countries maternal deaths search. Welcome to our coven 1900. 86 for joining Us South Africa is gradually easing its lock down which was widely considered one of the worlds most severe limits on contact an outdoor exercise kept more families inside and resulted in a surge of violence at home life is returning to the streets of cape town but the sale of alcohol and tobacco us still bad and tensions are rising. This is a Selfhelp Group for women who faced violence under lockdown they meet in Caroline Peters bank. She was the victim of a gang rape when she was young now she helps other women who are abused by men who missed the planting trees because from this new member main office they could be nothing i mean the home they are going to take you to be one pound instead you take him to the highland means hes able to move it onto means that the balance is moved back into the house the rates of gender based violence against women in south africa are among the highest in the world and its only worsened since the start of the lockdown according to these women they agreed to let us film in the hope it would encourage other women to speak out. Kims life has been marked by alcohol drugs and physical violence she also says its become worse on the lock down everything you said ive been through too. I have to tell you something important so i want to stand up. If this is ive made a decision that i havent told anyone yet enough is enough i cant live like this my boyfriend hits me in front of my son. I cannot love this man im going to take my bag and leave. Now its the time for action kims already packed her bags but they have to go and get her 6 year old son.

Kim has taken an important step. She reassures her son telling him shell keep him safe. Where theyre going nobodys going to hate anybody and. People there will be kind and shes going to be a better mother. Keep. Him and her son can stay at a shelter for 3 months but their problems are still waiting for them on the outside. And im joined now by kelly opium in jiro who leads a u. N. Effort to curb violence against women and Elizabeth Ali shes an expert in Reproductive Health at the institute welcome to you both. Lets start with you we just looked at south africa but this uptick in Domestic Violence is a global problem and whats driving it. Thank you 1st though the get these a global phenomenon we know that one of the women face globally physical or Sexual Violence and in the majority they face these findings may need them an act of violence but what they really want to emphasize its not just the mystic vitamins they meet the movement the movements they have clearly indicate that its values against women and they see its a form of relation but the happens everywhere at home at work at school when women get the are on their way to school and to work and will drive its much deeper and it doesnt have to do with some. Bad actors and bad acts doesnt have to do with some god the acts that the cash to do with boller and control and how abusers succeed control all the partners and women and get out they lifes challenges facing families go beyond Domestic Violence and into womens Reproductive Health care the good luck institute says a 10 percent drop in Reproductive Health care and low and middle come countries due to the coronavirus would put modern contraception out of reach for a projected 50000000 more women unintended pregnancies would shoot up same for newborns and thousands more women would die during pregnancy there also be 3000000 more unsafe abortions elizabeth i want to turn to you here theres a bracing numbers what do they look like for women and families. Youre right they are shocking numbers and this is just with a 10 percent decline we dont know if thats what were going to see or not thats potentially a pretty conservative estimate of how services are going to be constructed because what we see here is that policies lack of access and redirect resources that are all going to threaten womens ability to access these services and its not its not going to play out equally in all countries and all women countries that are to have Strained Health care systems are going to suffer the worst consequences and people who are marginalized and all who are ready had trouble accessing these services those barriers are going to be further exacerbated during a kind of a 1000 and this is really playing out in a context. That you mentioned redirected resources is that what it takes to get things back on track here is basically redirecting those resources back to their original purpose here was there something more that needs to be done at a time of these lockdowns. There is a lot more that can be done i think there are 5 key actions that can be taken that are not just about resources its about how were using those resources the 1st is we need governments to declare and make it clear that sexual and Reproductive Health care is an essential service that women can access this care during lockdowns without fear of legal consequences for traveling for care we also need to protect and should we need to protect and strengthen the supply chains theres concern for the global disruptions and supply chains and so we need to focus on how those are working at the national and regional level to make sure that sexual and Reproductive Health pharmaceuticals and the next providers and patients we also need to be we need to dispense our pharmaceuticals different so we need to allow women to access contraception without a prescription we need to decentralise the distribution of those commodities and we also need to consider multipath just senses a contraception so we need to change how our peraino services are beginning that we can also think about embryo models of care and that tell me how really important this time is an option so theres space to innovate and think differently about how were providing our care and then the 5th and really important point is we need to focus on the unique needs marginalized and honorable occupations that we need to make sure that they are not being forgotten when we are trying to ensure its actually part of health care is being protected in this moment there briefly one in with you do you get the sense that societies are taking action to do more against Domestic Violence at this time briefly if you could. Need to do much more especially when we know that Service Providers right now they face immense challenges and if we consider that. The basic Service Providers are womens organizations that they have been struggling with financial state even before call the one thing what they face right now is even to for them to close down themselves and we dont know in one year or in the longet which women chargen they say should be fit in place to provide services for survival so we need to provide support to the womens organizations to continue providing these services but also what we need in the long term is. And increase. By did i look to programs that respond to violence against women and go in the long term all right we have to leave it there. With u. N. Analysts but solely with a good Market Institute thank you both very much. Now its time for your questions its going to our science correspondent derrick williams. Rushes a high symptom of coverage 19. The w. H. O. Recently included rashes and skin discoloration on the fingers and toes and its official list of less common symptoms for a covert 19 they can range from from high of like groups of red bones to to larger flatter lesions to it to a condition that affects the feet that superficially resembles frostbite whats being dubbed. Toto it still isnt clear whether the virus itself is causing these symptoms directly or if they can be triggered by the bodys immune response theres also still a lot of uncertainty about how common different kinds of skin reactions are in different groups of patients and and also on the timing for when they show up the studies are ongoing. Which medical professionals are responsible for in chip a patient i couldnt find an unequivocal answer to this question but i can tell you what i did learn into patient is one of the emergency procedures used to treat patients who are experiencing severe respiratory distress some emergency medical clinicians are trained to carry it out in life or death situations in the field because it involves placing a ventilating too deep into your trachea though its obviously much safer to perform an integration in the hospital where patients are sedated before the tube is and services so so i assume an anesthesiologist would generally carry out the procedure or a properly trained Critical Care physician. And before we go some good news. Pet owners in california can pamper their pooches once again the golden state easing coronavirus restrictions to include mobile dog parlors hundreds of pet lovers have already made appointments staff are kitted out with gloves masks and Hand Sanitizer and they clean the van with the target between each pet appointment but while dogs can get new hairdos their owners will have to wait a little longer.
