Increased demand to the #MensAdviceLine since COVID-19 shows that lockdown is impacting male victims of domestic abuse. That’s why we’ve extended our opening hours to 9am-8pm Mon-Fri with additional email support offered over the weekend. Pls retweet and share. #TalkItOver

On average over half of the residents in our refuges are children. Our video Hide and seek – created in collaboration with our incredible corporate partner @Picturehouses – highlights why children are never ‘just’ witnesses.
