From a Kare11 report on Domestic Violence in 2020 during the Covid pandemic: Some reports say that domestic violence is up nearly 10% after experts analyzed data from 18 studies across the country. Including here in Minnesota. "I've gotten calls from people from the back of their closets, in the bathroom with the shower running, because they're not alone," says Mary Beth Becker- Lauth, Crisis Resource and Outreach Navigator with Women's Advocates. "We have been told by the Saint Paul Police Department that the number of domestic related calls to 911 are up, but our calls to the crisis hotlines are down," she says. "I think there's something to be said that the pandemics effect on closing and limiting hours to prevention programs."
