CWR Breakfast with Phil Upton

Available for over a year

The number of domestic abuse-related crimes is on the rise. The police recorded more than 900 thousand instances in the last year and there are concerns the situation will only get worse during the world cup. Reported incidents increase by 26 percent if England play and 38 percent if they lose. Zoe Dronfield lives in Finham and is a survivor of domestic violence who campaigns for women's rights. She gave 麻豆社 CWR's Phil Upton her reaction to those statistics.
