Hello everyone –
I’m dreaming of a SAFE Christmas. Peace on earth is for everyone…if you see something SAY SOMETHING!
Lockdowns, Christmas holidays and domestic violence:
A dangerous mix
Domestic abuse spikes during the holidays and the coronavirus lockdown will only make things worse. One quarter of all women experience abuse in their lives, and lockdown measures are making it harder to get help.
Domestic abuse always increases during the holiday season as families and couples spend more time together at home. Coronavirus lockdown measures, too, have led to increased incidences of abuse as couples and families are further isolated from the outside world. Now, observers fear a combination of the two will have grave consequences.
Social distancing measures have also made it more difficult for victims of abuse to seek help and leave the abusive situation.
Haven services other outreach programs are more crucial than ever.
