Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the most significant public health events in human history. Domestic violence cases surged globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Taiwan, this trend was particularly evident, with a year-over-year increase in reported cases. This study aims to investigate the complex dynamics of domestic violence in Taiwan during the COVID-19 pandemic through the lens of Complexity Theory. The researcher employed a qualitative case study method and conducted semistructured interviews with four participants. A cross-case analysis revealed four themes illustrating polymorphic correlations of factors and five themes related to self-organizing behaviors. This study amplifies the voices of domestic violence victims during the COVID-19 pandemic and offers insights into the intricate dynamics between domestic violence incidents and disasters, individuals, and systems. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
