During the UEFA Euros 2024, domestic abuse-related emergency calls surged 13% on match days, highlighting a troubling correlation between celebratory events and increased violence.
The data reveals that on average, 3,256 domestic abuse-related calls were made during the Euros, demonstrating the urgent need for support and awareness during such times.
With a call to police about domestic abuse happening every 30 seconds on average, the statistics indicate a grim reality that cities face during major sporting events.
Despite the reported figures, women’s support charity Refuge believes that the actual rates of domestic abuse-related calls during the tournament could be even higher.
