Abstract


Sejak pandemik COVID-19 menular aktif dalam negara, kerajaan telah melaksanakan perintah kawalan pergerakan (PKP) terhadap seluruh masyarakat untuk mengawal penyebaran virus. Impak pelaksanaan PKP telah mewujudkan pelbagai krisis sosial terutama isu keganasan rumah tangga (KRT). Justeru, artikel ini bertujuan untuk meninjau impak PKP terhadap isu KRT dari sudut faktor penyumbang dan peranan pihak pemegang taruh dalam menangani isu ini semasa PKP. Kajian ini melibatkan pengumpulan data sekunder dan analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa sepanjang tempoh PKP, terdapat enam faktor penyumbang kes KRT, iaitu kekangan ruang persekitaran, pengaruh dadah dan alkohol, kebergantungan pada pasangan, ketiadaan sistem sokongan yang kukuh, konflik dalaman individu dan tiada ilmu tentang KRT. Terdapat beberapa agensi kerajaan dan pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang cakna menjalankan tanggungjawab mereka membantu dari segi kewangan, kempen, kaunseling dan perlindungan berhubung isu ini semasa PKP. Kajian ini dirujuk penting dalam memberi gambaran berkenaan isu KRT yang berlaku semasa PKP khususnya di Malaysia dan diharapkan agar pihak pemegang taruh dapat merangka strategi yang holistik bagi menangani isu KRT yang semakin kritikal di negara ini.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic is actively spreading in the country, the government has implemented a movement control order (MCO) on the entire society to control the spread of the virus. The impact of the implementation of MCO has created various social crises, especially the issue of domestic violence (DV). Thus, this article aims to examine the impact of MCO on the issue of DV in terms of contributing factors and the role of stakeholders in addressing this issue during MCO. The study involved secondary data collection and content analysis. Our findings indicate that during the MCO period, there are six contributing factors to DV, namely environmental constraints, drug and alcohol influence, dependence on spouses, lack of strong support system, individual internal conflict, and lack of knowledge about DV. There are several government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have concern and carry out their responsibilities to assist in terms of financial, campaigns, counselling, and protection on these issues during the MCO. This study is referred vital in giving an overview of the DV issues that occurred during the MCO, especially in Malaysia and it is hoped that relevant stakeholders can further formulate a holistic strategy to address and combat the DV issue that is increasingly getting critical in this country.
