Support Domestic Violence Survivors During COVID-19

During the COVID-19 global health crisis, domestic violence is on the rise.

Domestic violence victims across the world, confined at home with their abusers, are at increased risk of harm—with the UK reporting more than double the usual number of calls to helplines and support services.

In response, UK SAYS NO MORE is creating new campaigns and resources to heighten awareness of the problem and increase action to help address it.

Right now, a gift to UK NO MORE or one of the many domestic abuse specialist service bellow will enables us to help direct survivors to support services and equip bystanders with the tools and knowledge needed to safely aide loved ones and neighbours experiencing violence during this unprecedented crisis.

Thank you for your invaluable support!
