#TheVirusIsHere
Since the WHO declared COVID19 as a global pandemic in January 2020, life has taken a new turn for many economies, industries, businesses, and most importantly, many homes. African governments had taken serious measures in mitigating the virus from spreading while following directives from health experts and practitioners. Countries across the world shut their boarders, authorized hand-washing, mask wearing and social distancing campaigns in the most preferred and relatable local languages and impose a total lockdown plus curfew.
As citizens embrace this sudden change, some are still battling it. The freedom to move around, seek inspiration from physical gathering and mental support suddenly became a luxury. Children are struggling to adjust to home-schooling and it’s restrictions and mothers are taking all the heat. With this development, there has been a surge in domestic violence and rape cases in urban areas, rural communities and refugee settlements with very little effort from the government to bring to justice the perpetrators.
