Due to the lockdown, there is a huge increase in crime and domestic violence against women all over the world including India. Domestic violence cases in India have increased since March 24. National Women's Commission (NCW) President Rekha Sharma said that with the announcement of a 21-day lockdown on March 24, people in India were instructed to stay in homes. Since people are at home due to the lockdown, there has been an increase in cases of domestic violence with women.
