Christmas – extended weekend of domestic violence

December 6, 2009

Safer Homes in News Zealand Everyday have begun an awareness drive in time for the silly season upswing in domestic violence, TVNZ reports.

Spokesperson for the group says they see the number of cases of spousal abuse rises during weekends, and Christmas is “like an extended weekend” with violence increasing over the statutory holidays.

The herald also carried a plea from police for calm over the holidays – that was before two women were killed in domestic violence cases in one weekend.

Merry Christmas.
