Throughout March, Sarah Everard’s murder has re-ignited the conversation about violence against women across the Internet, with women across the world sharing their own stories of domestic violence and sexual abuse. However, could these instances have greater repercussions to a woman’s long term health?

The CDC reports that about 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men have been impacted by intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetimes, making IPV an epidemic in and of itself. Along with its disproportionate effect on marginalized groups, IPV’s effects have also been worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To discuss and bring awareness to this important issue, the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society hosted a virtual panel discussion on February 12, 2021 titled “Marginalized Women, Technology, COVID-19, and Intimate Partner Violence,” where panelists discussed the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on victims of IPV and how technology can both hinder and help to ensure resource access and equity for these victims. Kira and Hiranya discuss reflections and important moments from watching the panel, and share many of their own findings from outside research.
