Lockdown’s impact can be seen in every section’s child. Those from lower and middle-lower are mostly affected in multiple ways like: in health, stress level, concerns related to the family situation, school closures, anxiety about their future, etc. Countless are suffering alone and many are suffering because of mental or physical stress given by family members due to economic strain, such as physical violence by depressed minds, facing the shock of abusive parents, bearing mental stress of domestic violence, etc. This is the worst scenario because they can’t leave their situation and it will gradually bring huge mental stress, which will torture them in the future too.
