The Sun covers the launch of a campaign by Women’s Aid aimed at raising awareness of domestic violence during the World Cup. The story notes that reports of abuse rose by 30 per cent on England match days during the last tournament four years ago. Women’s Aid chief executive Nicola Harwin: “We know that during big sporting events such as the World Cup there can be a rise in incidents of domestic violence, so now is a very relevant time to raise awareness.”

hi
It is very sad but true that domestic violence rises during the world cup, but I have also spoken to victims who say violence is always worse on saturday or for that matter any cup match day.
But the truth is men don’t need an excuse to hit their partner,
from experience just an ‘R’ in the month would do.
thank god for the WNC and other caring organizations.
take care everyone
