Intimate partner violence was one of the major social issues during the COVID-19 pandemic in Greece. During the pandemic, the cases of intimate partner violence seemed to increase in terms of women coming forward to report the abuse but also in media exposure. This study aims to explore the key factors for the rise in intimate partner violence numbers, as well as the effect it had on victims of intimate partner violence. PRISMA protocol was utilized to analyze the data collected. From the theoretical framework of feminist theory, three key factors for the increase of intimate partner violence in Greece were identified: lack of governmental incentives and action plans to prevent IPV and aid victims of IPV, the macho and impunity culture of Greek society, and police and legislation as patriarchal institutions.
