Coronavirus isolation measures have already resulted in a spike in domestic violence attacks around the world.
So far countries including New Zealand, France, China and the United Kingdom have also seen a jump in the number of cases reported to police after lockdown.
&#8216;Being stuck inside their home is the worst possible outcome for victims of domestic violence,&#8217; Ms Foster, a member of the Australian domestic violence advisory group, told Daily Mail Australia.

Generous: Jack announced on Tuesday in a thread that he will donate around 28 percent of his wealth to aid efforts during the global pandemic and will now make his donations all public
&#8216;That&#8217;s the thing abusers want, to be isolated at home with their victim and cut them off from any supports.
&#8216;This is such an unprecedented time&#8230; but of everything we know the worst thing you can do is require a domestic violence victim to be isolated with their abuser.&#8217;
This latest donation is just the latest generous contribution from Dorsey.
Earlier in the week, he donated a billion dollars to coronavirus relief efforts through his philanthropic fund.
