Relational Feminism: Home in the Era of a Pandemic

Abstract

Home forms a central part of every individual’s life. Home is meant to be a space of safety, security, peace, and serenity. However, for such a central point in everyday life, the law does not reflect an adequate understanding and interpretation thereof. Home as a space during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed drastically, especially insofar as it relates to domestic violence. It is, therefore, fitting to discover what exactly home means and what home ought to mean in order to protect all legal rights that flow from it adequately.
