COVID-19 & DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

To stop the spread of COVID-19, we were asked to stay at home. But home isn’t a safe place for everyone. With victims increasingly trapped at home with their abusers, global domestic violence cases surged. Even as lockdowns are lifted, this remains a critical time for survivors.

If you suspect that a friend or loved one is being abused, there is help available. In an emergency, call ALO 183 or report through Whatsapp on +90 (501) 183 0 183.
