With schools closed and many people laid off or working remotely, survivors may be in closer proximity to their abusers with fewer ways to access support services, less financial independence and greater fears about the safety of seeking services amid COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">&#8220;It\u2019s been a real challenge for advocates and survivors,&#8221; said\u00a0Ruth Glenn, president of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. &#8220;Not only have they had barriers they\u2019ve had to navigate to seek safety when they\u2019re ready, but they now have an added barrier of a pandemic. It becomes a tool for the person that\u2019s causing harm \u2013 another tool to further control and exert power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">Domestic violence incidents in the U.S. have increased by 8.1% since the beginning of the pandemic, according to estimates\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.ymaws.com\/counciloncj.org\/resource\/resmgr\/covid_commission\/Domestic_Violence_During_COV.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-track-label=\"inline|intext|n\/a\">released <\/a>Wednesday by the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice, which drew on data from logs of police calls, crime reports, emergency hotline registries, health records and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">But calls to hotlines have surged in different\u00a0parts of the country at different times over the past year.\u00a0New York <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/news\/following-spike-domestic-violence-during-covid-19-pandemic-secretary-governor-melissa-derosa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-track-label=\"inline|intext|n\/a\">saw\u00a0a surge in reports last spring<\/a> and launched a task force to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/news\/secretary-governor-melissa-derosa-issues-report-governor-outlining-covid-19-domestic-violence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-track-label=\"inline|intext|n\/a\">identify ways to provide resources<\/a> to survivors amid COVID-19. In Michigan, calls to the hotline run by the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence reached all-time highs last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">&#8220;We got as many calls in January as we had gotten in the entirety of October through December, and that\u2019s when we got almost as many calls as the previous year,&#8221; said executive director\u00a0Sarah Prout Rennie. &#8220;After a year, people are finding their choice between a rock and a hard place &#8230; completely untenable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"presto-h2\">&#8216;I matter, and my dogs matter&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p-text\">For Manos, the abuse began quickly. In April, as the U.S. was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/in-depth\/news\/2020\/01\/29\/coronavirus-what-are-symptoms-of-wuhan-china-novel-virus\/4563892002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-track-label=\"inline|intext|n\/a\">beginning to learn more about the novel coronavirus<\/a> and institute stay-at-home orders, Manos wasn&#8217;t seeing\u00a0her parents because they didn&#8217;t want to risk contracting or transmitting COVID-19, she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">That&#8217;s when Manos connected with the man on Bumble. According to the lawsuit, he quickly pressured Manos into meeting in person and becoming his girlfriend. Early on, the man allegedly told Manos he had &#8220;disappeared&#8221; his ex-girlfriend&#8217;s family and warned Manos not to cross him, according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">There <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehotline.org\/identify-abuse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-track-label=\"inline|intext|n\/a\">are many signs of domestic abuse<\/a>, and they look different for each situation, said Glenn, of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"presto-h2\">Domestic violence resources<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p-text\">If you are a victim of domestic violence, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehotline.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-track-label=\"inline|intext|n\/a\">The National Domestic Violence Hotline<\/a><\/strong> allows you to speak confidentially with trained advocates online or by the phone, which they recommend for those who think their online activity is being monitored by their abuser (800-799-7233).
