COVID-19 PANDEMİ SÜRECİNDE ÇOCUKLARA YÖNELİK UYGULANAN ŞİDDETİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Bu çalışmada COVID-19 pandemi sürecinin çocuklara yönelik şiddete etkisi açısından değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Okulların ve işyerlerinin kapanması ve hareket kısıtlamaları, yetişkinlerin ve çocukların zamanlarını nasıl ve nerede geçirdiklerini kökten değiştirmiş ve bu durumda çocukların evde şiddete maruz kalabileceği bildirilmiştir. Çocuklara yönelik şiddetin belirli biçimlerinde bir azalma olduğu da bildirilmektedir. Fakat aynı literatürde araştırmacılar bu durumu eğitimciler ve sağlık profesyonellerinin genellikle istismar yönlendirmeleri yapan, bildiren kişiler olduğunu, sadece şiddetin etkilerine tanık olan kişilerin azalması anlamına geldiği şeklinde açıklamaktadırlar. Bu nedenle evde kalma önlemlerinin şiddetin azalması anlamına gelmeyeceği, pandeminin şiddeti gizli tutarak adeta maske etkisi oluşturduğu vurgulanmıştır. Bu yazarlar, öğretmenleri, sosyal hizmet uzmanlarını, doktorları ve hemşireleri, yalnızca çevrimiçi öğrenme veya tele sağlık formatı aracılığıyla bile olsa aile içi şiddete yönelik uyanık olmaya çağırmaktadır. COVID-19 pandemisinin çocuklara yönelik şiddet üzerine etkisini içeren araştırmaların yapılması ve bildirim konusunda çocuk ve ailelerle yakından çalışan tüm profesyonellerin farkındalık açısından dikkatli olması önerilmektedir.
