NNJ (V) - The Hidden Pandemic: Domestic Violence (7 PM ET)

Like Covid, domestic violence flourishes in crowded spaces. When schools and businesses closed due to the pandemic, people retreated to their homes, and some were trapped with abusive family members. Calls to domestic violence hotlines soared and shelters didn't have enough room.
