The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has largely exposed pre-existing inequalities, deepening prevalent vulnerabilities and resulting in large and insidious impact on people's lives. Gender-based and domestic violence was configured within perverse and serious circumstances, as victims and aggressors were forced to remain in the same spaces, because of the confinements and mobility restriction, demanded by Governments worldwide to protect Global Public Health. In Portugal the situation was no different. A qualitative study was addressed to assess narratives and perspectives of key stakeholders and workers in the field. In-depth semistructured interviews were applied to six professionals with crucial roles both in terms of representation of the State and local structures, intervention, and response in the processes of domestic violence, as well as acting directly with victims. The results show important gaps in addressing domestic violence during the confinements. Nevertheless, our participants unanimously stated that social isolation associated to economic crisis intensified the occurrence of domestic violence and hinder victims' access to adequate care services. Additionally, the shortage of human resources in this area, and lack of adequate investment and financial resources contributed to impoverishment of health, protection, and guarantee of dignity and human rights for victims of gender-based and domestic violence.

SARS-CoV-2 大流行对家庭暴力援助的影响：葡萄牙利益相关者的观点

SARS-CoV-2 大流行在很大程度上暴露了先前存在的不平等现象，加深了普遍存在的脆弱性，并对人们的生活造成了巨大而隐蔽的影响。基于性别的暴力和家庭暴力是在不正当和严重的情况下发生的，由于世界各国政府为保护全球公共卫生而要求的限制和行动限制，受害者和施暴者被迫留在同一空间。在葡萄牙，情况也不例外。进行了一项定性研究，以评估该领域主要利益相关者和工人的叙述和观点。对六名专业人员进行了深入的半结构化访谈，这些专业人员在国家和地方机构的代表、家庭暴力过程的干预和应对方面都发挥着至关重要的作用，以及直接与受害者一起行动。结果显示在解决分娩期间的家庭暴力方面存在重大差距。尽管如此，我们的与会者一致表示，与经济危机相关的社会隔离加剧了家庭暴力的发生，并阻碍了受害者获得适当的照顾服务。此外，该领域的人力资源短缺以及缺乏足够的投资和财政资源，导致性别暴力和家庭暴力受害者的健康、保护和尊严及人权保障匮乏。我们的与会者一致表示，与经济危机相关的社会隔离加剧了家庭暴力的发生，阻碍了受害者获得适当的照顾服务。此外，该领域的人力资源短缺以及缺乏足够的投资和财政资源，导致性别暴力和家庭暴力受害者的健康、保护和尊严及人权保障匮乏。我们的与会者一致表示，与经济危机相关的社会隔离加剧了家庭暴力的发生，阻碍了受害者获得适当的照顾服务。此外，该领域的人力资源短缺以及缺乏足够的投资和财政资源，导致性别暴力和家庭暴力受害者的健康、保护和尊严及人权保障匮乏。
