Abstract

Odd enough, the revised book has been published in the “Contemporary Dilemmas” collection of the Sigma Educational Publishing House, Bucharest, in 2020, during unprecedented times of a global pandemic, through which the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) have issued repeated warnings about an increased risk of gender based violence due to the “anthropause” phenomenon and the drastically – and forcefully – modified human behaviors. A worldwide increase of incidents of violence against women has been reported since the severe anti-Covid-19 lockdown measures have first been implemented in early spring 2020, and continued throughout most of the rest of the year (see Menegatti et al., 2020; Ornell et al., 2020; Vora et al., 2020).
