In South Korea, from January to April, the time when COVID-19 occurred domestic violence and sexual violence have increased by 13.1 % and 6 % than last year. Domestic violence happens because most people are staying at home to avoid getting infected from the virus. So, they feel social isolation, and they commit domestic violence. Natural phenomena like COVID-19 can cause much stress, and it leads to violence. Also, alcohol consumption and unemployment are the causes of domestic violence.

From this, we should prepare medical support and counsel support for victims to get out of depression because of domestic violence. The government has to make a policy and give a strict penalty to the attackers.

If they are aware of domestic violence, they can cope with it.
