Crimestoppers has launched a Wales-wide campaign to raise awareness of the devastating impact of domestic abuse and violence against women and girls, to encourage people to report concerns safely and anonymously.
Domestic abuse and violence against women and girls (VAWG) are among the highest-harm crimes affecting communities in Wales. With sporting events drawing families and friends together, the campaign aims to remind everyone that help is available and that no one should suffer in silence.
The campaign will highlight the signs of domestic abuse and VAWG, the importance of speaking out, and the ways Crimestoppers can help. Social media posts will be shared across Wales on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, ensuring the message reaches all adults in the region.
Hayley Fry, Wales Regional Manager at the charity Crimestoppers, said: “Summer should be a time for joy, not fear. No one should have to suffer in silence, and we want people across Wales to know they can speak up about domestic abuse or violence against women and girls completely anonymously. We never ask for names or take any personal details, and calls and online reports can’t be traced. By coming together and looking out for one another, we can help protect those at risk and make our communities safer.”
Some of the key messages behind this campaign are:-
- Domestic abuse and VAWG are serious crimes that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background.
- Sporting events can be a trigger for increased incidents—know the signs, and don’t ignore them.
- Crimestoppers guarantees 100% anonymity for anyone reporting information, online or by phone.
Your information could help save a life.
If you or someone you know is affected by domestic abuse or violence against women and girls, contact Crimestoppers anonymously at crimestoppers-uk.org or call 0800 555 111.
You will never be asked for your name or any personal details, and your information will never be traced.
