Campaign to tackle violence and abuse against women and girls in Wales

New figures from Crimestoppers Wales show that between April and June 2025, 56 per cent more reports linked to domestic abuse were received by the charity compared to the same period last year.
The new campaign urges victims to seek help and support and for colleagues, friends, and family who know what is taking place or have suspicions to tell the authorities or contact the charity 100 per cent anonymously.
Hayley Fry, regional manager for Wales at Crimestoppers, said: 'Women and girls in Wales have the right to feel safe, wherever they are – at home, at work, online, or in public.
"No one should live in fear, especially from a partner, family member, or within their own home.
"If you are a victim, support is available – please reach out.
"And if you know someone at risk, your anonymous report to Crimestoppers could help change -or even save- a life.
"Together, we can build a safer Wales for women and girls by challenging abusers, supporting survivors, and refusing to look away or stay silent."
Should you suspect or know about violence against women or girls or domestic abuse and prefer to stay anonymous, contact Crimestoppers UK Contact Centre on freephone 0800 555 111 at any time or complete a safe and secure anonymous online form at Crimestoppers-uk.org.
In an emergency, or if you fear someone's life is in danger, call 999.
