我们研究了抗击非典-新冠肺炎的居家政策对家庭暴力的影响。我们关注的是秘鲁，这个国家实行了严格的封锁，近60%的女性在新冠肺炎之前经历过暴力。从2020年3月到7月，拨打求助热线L 100的电话增加了48%，在接下来的几个月里影响更大。所有州的呼叫量都在上升，这并不是由任何特定的人口群体或以前普遍存在的家庭暴力推动的。为了减少SARS-CoV-2病毒的传播，世界各地都实施了居家政策。然而，人们越来越担心，这种政策可能会增加对妇女的暴力行为。我们找到了支持这一关键关切的证据。我们关注的是秘鲁，这个国家从3月中旬开始在全国范围内实施严格的封锁，近60%的女性在新冠肺炎之前就已经经历过暴力。使用拨打家庭暴力求助热线(L 100)的电话的行政数据，我们发现，在2020年4月至7月期间，这些电话的发生率增加了48%，影响随着时间的推移而增加。所有州的呼叫量都在上升，这并不是由基线特征推动的，包括以前对妇女的暴力盛行。这些发现需要确定政策，以减轻居家订单对妇女安全的负面影响。
We study the impact of the stay-at-home policies to combat SARS-Covid-19 on domestic violence. We focus on Peru, a country that imposed a strict lockdown and where nearly 60% of women experienced violence before COVID-19. Calls to helpline Línea 100 increased by 48 percent between March and July 2020, with larger effects in later months. The rise in calls is found in all states and it is not driven by any particular demographic group or by previous prevalence of domestic violence. Stay-at-home policies have been implemented worldwide to reduce the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, there is a growing concern that such policies could increase violence against women. We find evidence in support of this critical concern. We focus on Peru, a country that imposed a strict nationwide lockdown starting in mid-March and where nearly 60% of women already experienced violence before COVID-19. Using administrative data on phone calls to the helpline for domestic violence (Línea 100), we find that the incidence rate of the calls increased by 48 percent between April and July 2020, with effects increasing over time. The rise in calls is found across all states and it is not driven by baseline characteristics, including previous prevalence of violence against women. These findings create the need to identify policies to mitigate the negative impact of stay-at-home orders on women’s safety.
