A charity supporting victims of domestic and sexual abuse saw the number of calls to its helpline increase by 50% during December
.
Overall there was a 40% annual increase in calls and webchats to the helpline last year compared to 2021 while the number of contacts made increased from 22,414 in 2021 to 31,217 last year. “The DSA Helpline statistics tell us that instances of domestic abuse, in particular, increase during the Christmas period. Our callers highlight increased pressures in domestic relationships due to several common factors; families spending more time together and having to maintain a façade for others, greater strain on finances and higher levels of alcohol intake.
“In the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day in 2021, we saw a 12% annual increase in calls and a 29% increase in webchats and emails, this was particularly evident during the evening and at night.”
