Getting through COVID-19 Together

#CopingWithCOVID19

The COVID-19/Coronavirus global pandemic has exacerbated the vulnerabilities of those already at risk. Those already facing socio-economic challenges, the displaced, and those that suffer from abuse are even more desperate for support and services. 

SEED is serving those in need, adapting our work, to keep our staff and our clients safe.

Promoting Health and Safety

Symptoms of Coronavirus

Social distancing, wearing masks, and washing hands are all critical to reducing your risk of contracting COVID-19, or the Coronavirus.

If you have symptoms of coronavirus, stay at home and avoid physical contact. Symptoms include: sore throat, new and persistent cough, fever, and a shortness of breath. In an emergency call the KRG’s 122 – lines are open 24/7.

Reducing Violence

Those that face violence at home are experiencing higher levels of abuse now under COVID-19 conditions, and have lower access to services or a safe space.

  • SEED continues to support survivors, even under COVID 19 restrictions, through remote service delivery, to protect and empower them.

  • If you’ve been affected by domestic violence or other forms of gender-based violence you can get support by calling SEED at or call the Department of Combating Violence against Women and Families (DCVAW) for free and in confidence on 119
