The epidemiologic emergency of covid-19 and the following measures implemented by the Italian government to cope with the virus have had an impact on anti-violence centers and shelters. Professionals in this sector have had to suddenly reorganize their way of working while, at the same time, elaborate new strategies for dealing with institutions in a time of crisis. In this context, the current study aims at exploring the depth of the impact of covid-19 on the work of professionals in anti-violence centers and shelters as well as their perception of the crisis. For this reason, this study is based on in-depth interviews to 10 professionals working in centers and shelters across Italy. As the findings show, due to the nature of the work normally performed by the organizations and the lack of governmental support, it was particularly difficult for professionals to reorganize in the early stages of the lockdown. Moreover, this situation has further exacerbated the exclusion and invisibility of marginalized communities.
