Summary

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has restricted community movement through the Movement Control Order (PKP) from March 18 to the Recovery Movement Control Order (PKPP) and the Conditional Movement Control Order (PKPB). The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) stated that 3,080 cases were reported from May 18 to October 2020. The Women's Aid Organization (WAO) found that the WAO service line increased 3.4 times during the period of movement via phone calls, WhatsApp application queries through the WAO hotline. According to Saadah and Shuhada (2018), domestic violence increases every year due to a lack of public exposure to the rights that can be fought for if a person experiences domestic violence. The increasing statistics of domestic violence cases is a greatly worrisome social problem in all levels of society regardless of race, class, and economic status.
