There has been a rise in domestic violence during the World Cup.
The World Cup is currently taking place in Brazil. People are excited and enjoying watching games in the sunshine. However, England’s latest defeat, sending them hurtling out of the competition, has lead to an increase in domestic violence.
The Portsmouth News reported a pregnant Waterlooville woman who was kicked by her partner after England suffered defeat to Italy.
Nicola Whitley, Senior Associate Solicitor and specialist in matters involving domestic abuse says, “I would anticipate that this was not an isolated incident for the victim in this case. We need to make sure she knows there is help out there and she should not have to put up with abuse at any time, World Cup or not”.
“We can help people suffering from abuse. We can help now.”
