When England play football - Domestic violence increases by around 30%. If England lose - Domestic violence increases by almost 40%.
We can enjoy the football, we can celebrate our victories, we can lament our defeats and we can be proud of our national team... but leave violence, aggression, controlling behaviour and emotional abuse at the door.
Feeling angry or emotional? Take a break, take it outside. Drinking alcohol? Control your intake, think sensibly. Been a victim of domestic abuse or scared you may become one? You are not alone - Speak out - Seek help.
There are free 24/7 charities and agencies available for support, or if you are in danger call 999 immediately.
Football may be coming home, but domestic abuse doesn't need to. If you call 999 and cannot talk - press '55' on your keypad or just stay silent |
