As restrictions heighten domestic tensions and cut off escape routes, Refuge Charity's National Domestic Abuse helpline saw a 25% increase in calls and online requests for help since the lockdown was put in place, as reported on BBC.
If you are experiencing any type of domestic abuse, you are not alone. Refuge's Freephone 24 hours National Domestic Abuse helpline remains open & will offer support whenever that's safe for you. To know more, access: http://ow.ly/RIsn50z67c8
