"What happens when a person is experiencing long COVID and intimate partner
violence at the same time? There has been no attention paid to this question
anywhere in the world since the onset of the pandemic in 2020.
This is staggering, given previous research shows women who are
victim-survivors of intimate partner violence are twice as likely to develop
long-term illnesses, including chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
The World Health Organisation defines long COVID as the continuation, or
development of new symptoms three months after the initial COVID infection.
Global studies estimate one in ten infected people go on to develop long COVID
symptoms.
Our research reveals the previously unseen impacts of long COVID on individuals
experiencing domestic violence. We found that each of these conditions worsened
an individual’s experience of the other."
