A women’s charity in Plymouth is urging anybody who has been the victim of domestic abuse, or might be worried about a friend or family member, to speak out and ask for help.
Launching a new campaign against gender-based violence, Hayley Everett, Trevi’s head of fundraising, said the time has come to put a stop to violence against women and girls.
“Domestic violence accounts for 27 per cent of crime in the city, against the national average of 16 per cent.
“What we’re saying is, if you see something, call it out. Or report it. And if you’re experiencing abuse, then come and seek help,” she said.
