Since the outbreak of the Covid-19, domestic violence has increased across the world. Lockdown will ultimately save lives but it will cost some too. Victims of domestic violence are permitted to leave home during the lockdown. Good neighbours need to be listening and looking out for signs of
domestic violence and take action by calling the police if you think someone is in danger. Two women are murdered every week by a current or former parner. If you need help, if you are living in fear or you know someone who is please share these phone numbers and check out the links below.
