Is that a number that a dv victim could text?
I'm not sure I understand your post!

CrinkleCrankle · 11/07/2021 10:52

Shocking stats & so sad to see this is the world we live in!!

CourageCalls2Courage · 11/07/2021 11:16

Absolutely disgusting statistics but what is really disturbing is that I'm not shocked! Angry

IfIHadAHeart · 11/07/2021 11:34

The statistics suggest that it actually increases even more when England win.

I think it’s something like
Domestic violence goes up 26% if England win and 38% if they lose

NautaOcts · 11/07/2021 11:39

Which you already said Apologies- I’m an idiot!

Is it only in England that there is domestic violence based around a football match? I’m curious to know that if Italy lose is there a corresponding figure like that around domestic violence in Italy.

Important information. Bump.

tribpot · 11/07/2021 15:39

Not just England @ThroughThickAndThin01- here is an article about Australia and Canada. And here is one about the Superbowl.

I haven't found anything about Italy and sport but the UN database says that the lifetime risk of domestic violence in Italy is 19% vs 29% in the UK.

I'd imagine this is an issue that affects women worldwide

38% is huge, if women committed violence against men by that sort of increase around a sporting event, we certainly wouldn’t be encouraged to get pissed and have some care free fun.

Absolutely disgusting, l hope they put this number up on tv before the match starts.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/07/2021 17:30

Thank you for posting that tribpot, that makes grim reading. So a sports/male problem worldwide. Absolutely awful.

toffeebutterpopcorn · 11/07/2021 17:31

Of only the clubs would spend time and money, say wearing a colour of boot laces or armbands to promote this...

‘Domestic violence is committed by bastards. Don’t be a bastard’ there’s your strap.
