“He Was The Last Person I Want To Be Stuck With,” a magazine story about a woman who was with her abusive partner during the COVID-19 epidemic. After the girl found out that the guy was cheating on her, he started to be violent, such as grabbing her hair, holding her down and beating her up. This is a very common occurrence of domestic violence, which not only hurts the girl’s rights but also undermines social norms of behavior. During the COVID-19, social isolation due to quarantine at home means that domestic violence became increasingly ‘aggressive’. Abusers are even more rampant due to the financial and emotional pressures of life, prompting them to lash out at their partners in increasingly extreme ways. So victims can send out distress signals to close friends and family members to prevent further harm from occurring.

    I think your sources are solid. I had a hard time trying to find good ones. I think the search engines weren’t helpful. Your topic is domestic violence, which aspect are you focusing on?

    Very sad stories and realization of how domestic violence happens from the sources such as the wife being held captive and tortured. I think this is a very solid topic to pick but also a very horrifying one.
