WRAP DOMINO EFFECTS OF
CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWNS LIKE
ISOLATION AND STRESS ARE
LEADING TO WHAT SOME ARE
CALLING A PANDEMIC WITHIN
A PANDEMIC A RISE IN DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE CASES OF DOMESTIC
ABUSE ARE SPIKING IN
CITIES NATIONWIDE PUTTING A
STRAIN ON RESOURCES DESIGNED TO
HELP SURVIVORS ESCAPE AND
RECOVER JOINING US NOW
NATHANIEL FEEL CEO OF THE URBAN
RESOURCE INSTITUTE FOUND
NATHANIEL WELCOME TO THE SHOW
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TALKING
TO YOU FOR
WEEKS NOW, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
SPECIFIC FACTORS CONTRIBUTING
TO THIS INCREASE IN INCIDENTS.
>> SO FOR WHAT THEY HAVE MADE
SUCH AN IMPORTANT SHOW BECAUSE
SOME OF
THE SURVIVORS. I NEED THE
INFORMATION WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT WE START TO THINK ABOUT
THIS PANDEMIC WITHIN A
PANDEMIC.
THE MATH INVOLVED IN OF ITSELF
SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO
SOMEONE AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS.
VERY TRAUMATIC EVENT AROUND
COVID NOW IP AND MANY
SURVIVORS STRONG WELL BECAUSE
OF THE IMPACT TO OUR SYSTEM.
OUR
SHELTERS OPEN. I WAS GOING TO
COMMUNICATE WITH THE IN THE FOR
READY NEEDED NEED TO GET OUT OF
THAT ENVIRONMENT AND WHAT'S THE
STATUS OF SHELTERS ON THE
CLEANUP GOING INCREASE
MY RISK AND I LEAVE MY AND
CONTRACT
COVID PARTICULARLY WHEN MANY
PEOPLE WERE TELLING THEM TO
STAY AT HOME AND WE UNDERSTOOD
THAT HOME WAS JUST NOT SAFE
AMID THE VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS
OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
>> I'M LOOKING AT SOME OF THE
STATISTICS HERE IN NEW YORK
CITY SAW A 10% INCREASE IN
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN 2020, BUT
A COUNTY IN ALABAMA SAW AN
INCREASE OF MORE THAN
25%. SO IT'S WHY DO DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE LEVELS VARY SO MUCH
CITY BY CITY OUR PRODUCTION
TEAM JUST PULLED UP A GREAT
GRAPHIC SHOWING THOSE NUMBERS
RIGHT THERE.
>> SO YOU KNOW THAT THEY DID
TELL ONE STORY WE KNOW THAT
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS TYPICALLY
UNDERREPORTED AND DURING
COVID-19 WE LEARNED A LOT HOW
SURVIVORS OF VICTIMS ARE
ACCESSING
OUR SERVICES. SO A LOT OF THE
WORK TURNED OUT TO BE
I WOULD.
>> COMMUNICATING WITH VICTIMS
OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURTS HAD
CHANGED THE POLICE RESPONSE
THAT CHANGE. AND IF YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT THAN THE DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE. THEY WERE OFTEN AT
NEXT TO SOMEONE WHO
ANY HARM TO THEM SO WE HAD TO
MOVE OUR SYSTEMS
TO BETTER COMMUNICATE WITH
MAKING THE DOMESTIC LOUD, SOME
PLACES THEY DID IT
EXCEPTIONALLY WELL, BUT THE
NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
HOTLINE AT THEY
HAVE DIFFERENT WARMS FOR
VICTIMS TO GET IN TOUCH WITH
THEM YOU CAN CALL BY TELEPHONE
YOU
CAN TEXT AND YOU CAN CHAT AND
SO YOU THINK ABOUT SOMEONE
WHO'S IN THE UNSAFE SITUATION.
HAVING VERY FORM OF
COMMUNICATION VERY HELP HELPFUL
ON THE PLACES WE LIVE ON A
CALL. BUT YOU TALK ABOUT A HOT
AND SO YOU'RE SITTING RIGHT
NEXT AND ABUSE TO PARTNER MAY
BE VERY DIFFICULT TO PICK UP
THE PHONE AND SAY HEY I'M IN
TROUBLE I NEED SOME HELP.
SO.
PART OF IT IS OUR SYSTEM'S
RESPONSE STORM PROBABLY HAVE TO
BE MORE FLEXIBLE AND REALLY
FROM IVERS WHEN WE WERE IN
TERMS OF HAVING A PLATFORM THAT
THEY COULD CONNECT WITH I WOULD
SAY THE OTHER
THAT'S I WAS ALWAYS WEIGH THE
RISK FACTORS IS SOMETHING SOME
PLACES YOU CAN SEE SURVIVORS
WITH A GOOD SYSTEMS AND
SERVICES IN IT
COMMUNICATING THEY'RE REACHING
OUT IN OTHER PLACES WITH
COMMUNICATION HAS
BEEN DIFFICULT. SURVIVORS
STRUGGLED WITH SOME OF THOSE
QUESTIONS HOW DO I GET HELP
WHERE I CAN HELP ANOTHER.
>> FORTUNATE OUTCOME WE'RE
SEEING IS SOME SHELTERS ARE
REACHING CAPACITY OR DOES HAVE
HAD TO SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE
PANDEMIC WHAT ARE ARE THE RISKS
OF THESE RESOURCES DISAPPEARING
OF ANNUAL.
>> SO I WOULD SAY VERY THAT YOU
TALK ABOUT THROUGHOUT THE STATE
AND WHEN YOU DID EVEN BEFORE
COVID-19 GOT A CHALLENGE IS
HAVING ENOUGH STATES READY
AND AVAILABLE ONE SURVIVOR
DOMESTIC CALLERS NEEDED HELP
AND IS CRITICAL BECAUSE WE
UNDERSTAND THAT STILL TODAY THE
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF WOMEN
WERE KILLED THE UNITED STATES
OR KILLED AS A RESULT, THE
COMMITTEE PART ABOUT SO WE'RE
OFF AND DEALING WITH LIFE AND
THAT'S IF SHUNS AND SO WHAT WE
TRY
TO DO IT'S A SURE THAT WE HAVE
GOOD OPPORTUNITIES TO TALK TO
THE SAMARRA AND YOU TALK ABOUT
THE OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND A
SHELTER SPACE THAT NIGHT BUT WE
MAY WE WILL WORK WITH THE
AMOUNT OF SAFETY PLAN
AND TALK ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE
IN
SHORT TERM. IT MIGHT MEAN STAY
WITH A FRIEND THAT'S A FAMILY
MEMBER AND SOMETIMES A SAFE
PLACE MAY PUT YOU IN A HOTEL
THAT STATE. IN NEW
YORK CITY. OUR SHELTERS WHILE
WE'VE BEEN A AT CITY TO SOME
DEGREE WE STILL
HAVE SPACE AND SO WE WANT TO
BELIEVE IN COVERAGE ALSO
MODERATE THE
CALL THE. ON LIKE THE NATIONAL
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOTLINE TO
FIND OUT WHAT'S AVAILABLE AND
WHAT OPTIONS MAY BE AVAILABLE
TO INCREASE
THEIR SAFETY.
>> DANIEL HOW IS THE URBAN
RESOURCE INSTITUTE RESPONDING
TO THESE PANDEMIC NUMBERS.
>> FIRST OF ALL LET ME SAY I
HAVE TO SAY I'M SO PROUD OF OUR
STAFF MEMBERS
OFTEN YOU TALKING WE TALK OF
THE NATION FIRST RESPONDERS
BEING DOCTORS AND NURSES OR
SHOULD OR DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE WORKERS. SACRIFICE
INCREASE THEIR RISK IN CAME TO
WORK EACH AND EVERY DAY BY
SERVICES. SO I JUST WANT TO
SHOUT THEM OUT BECAUSE THEY
JUST HAVE DONE AN
INCREDIBLE JOB.
>> BUT WE MOVE QUICKLY, WE
LOOKED AT A LOT OF DATA THAT
WAS EVER CHANGING IN THE
BEGINNING AND MOVED OUR
SERVICES LIKE TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THE HOT
LINE PLATFORM THE CHANGE THE
CHAT IN NEW YORK STATE WE CAN
BUT WE HAD A PHONE CALL WE MOVE
QUICKLY TO TEXTING.
SIMILARLY POLICE DEPARTMENT AT
THE TEXT WE JUST REALLY CHANGED
SOME, BUT WE COMMUNICATED WE
DID A LOT OF MEDIA TO TALK TO
SURVIVORS THAT SHELTER AND
OTHER RESOURCE THERE ARE STILL
OPEN THIS I GET PROTECTIVE
ORDERS. THE COURT TOLD ON THE
SITE YOU CAN FIND SHELTER SPACE
IF YOU'RE READY NEED TO SHELTER
SPACE. SO A LOT OF INCREASING
AWARENESS OF WHAT HE DID EXIST.
AND TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW A LOT
OF PEOPLE TODAY STILL THINK
THAT SHOWED THERE'S A 100 BEDS
IN
THE DAY AND RESOURCE INSTITUTE
IN MANY SHELTERS ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. A LOT OF MY INDIVIDUAL
I PARTMENT WHEN THE VIGILS CAN
HEAL ITS SAFETY BY THEMSELVES
THEY ARE WITH THEIR CHILDREN WE
WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT WE HAVE
SAFE BUILDING SPACES. WITHIN
MANY SHELTERS IN THE COUNTRY
AND URBAN RESOURCE IF THE 2
BEING THE LARGEST DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE SHELTER PROVIDER AND
1200 OF
OUR SPACES. JOEY INDIVIDUAL
LIKE DEPARTMENTS THAT WE CLEAN
THE SUPPORT VICTIMS PARTICULAR
DURING
COVID-19.
>> AT ABOUT 45 SECONDS WITH ITS
ANNUAL BUT I DO WANT TO ASK YOU
MORE AMERICANS ARE GETTING
VACCINATED HOPEFULLY EVENTUALLY
EVERYONE WILL GET BACK.
>> TO WORK WHAT DOES THE
POST-PANDEMIC WORLD LOOK LIKE
FOR THE SURVIVORS.
>> WE'RE LEARNING SOME THINGS
AROUND COVID NIGHT IT'S BEEN
HORRIBLE AND THAT'S NOT ALL WE
ALL KNOW THAT.
BUT WE'RE ALSO LEARNING THAT WE
MAY BE ABLE TO ASSIST SURVIVORS
TO SOME OF THE PLATFORM TO
CREATE THE TELEPHONE CONTACT,
JACK ATTACKS AND ALSO LOOKING
AT COURTS, YOU KNOW SOME OF THE
WORK WITH FACE TO FACE FOR AND
WE'RE LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES
CAN WE MAKE IT EASIER FOR
SURVIVORS WHO HAVE LEFT AND
STAY HOME AND COMING IN IT AND
SO IT'S SAFETY AND NOT HAVE TO
SORT OF GO GET WATER PROTECTION
WHICH COULD BE CHILDREN IN THIS
SCHOOL RIGHT AROUND HERE.
AND WE NOW USE SOME OF THE
THINGS
WE'VE LEARNED COVID TO BE MORE
CLIENTS TEND TO BE MORE
SUPPORTIVE WITH SURVIVORS AND
DURING
THE PANDEMIC WE WILL ALSO LEARN
ABOUT THE INEQUITY LISTEN A LOT
CHILDREN THAT WE PROVIDE
SERVICES TO WE HAD SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES GETTING UP TO NEXT
IT WAS COOL RIGHT JUST TAKE
YOUR SHELTER YOU LEFT US BEHIND
AND SO IT WAS HARD TO GET THOSE
RESOURCES IN THE BEGINNING PART
OF ENDEMIC
TO SURVIVORS.
>> FANEUIL THANK YOU FOR
EVERYTHING YOU AND YOUR
COLLEAGUES ARE DOING ESPECIALLY
DURING THIS TIME FOR ALL THESE
PEOPLE OUT THERE THEY NEED
YOUR HELP ITS ANNUAL FEEL CEO
