THE REAL MILLENNIUM BUG

Abstract

The new Covid-19 hit Italy at the very beginning of what we would come to know as a major global crisis, with catastrophic proportions, only before seen in periods of great wars. Isolation forced citizens to reorganize themselves socially and professionally, and the issue of domestic violence emerged strongly in this period of confinement when being at home is not synonymous with being safe for everyone. This article proposes an overview of the current situation in Italy in times of the Covid-19 emergency, and the effects caused in the anti-violence centers for women who wish to flee from their aggressors.
