Domestic violence: don’t suffer in silence

If you are suffering as a result of domestic violence, help is at hand.

The COVID-19 restrictions have led to an increase in domestic incidents, with victims trapped in their own homes.


Women’s Aid has a handy list of numbers to call if you need help.

Last month Nexus NI warned of a rise in the number of calls in relation to domestic violence.

It said there had been a 13% rise in calls, on top of a 27% increase during the first week of April.

It also said the number of visits to the domestic and sexual abuse website had doubled.

Nexus also reported an increase in callers who were worried that if they leave home, they could catch the coronavirus.
