Webinar – The Shadow Pandemic: Why the health response to family violence is more important than ever

One of the most distressing challenges arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic has been an increase in the frequency and severity of violence against women – described as the ‘Shadow Pandemic’. To mark 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, join the Royal Women’s Hospital and its panel of experts, including Rosie Batty AO, Dr Sue Matthews and Professor Kelsey Hegarty, as they discuss the role of the health sector in identifying and supporting people affected by family violence; the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions on health service delivery; and how hospitals and other health settings can improve their response.
