The horrific rise in violence against women and girls linked to sporting events
A new campaign has been launched to tackle the horrific trend of increased violence against women and girls during and after major sporting events. Crimestoppers, the independent charity giving people the power to speak up and stop crime is behind the campaign and is encouraging people to report the vile abuse. Recent statistics and reports from frontline services have shown that incidents of domestic abuse and gender-based violence spike around the time of significant sporting occasions. READ MORE: Bolton MP Kirith Entwistle co-chairs new Labour VAWG group New scheme helping domestic abuse victims in Bolton a success Bolton: Victim calls for domestic abusers' register •During the 2024 UEFA European Championships, police in England and Wales recorded 351 football-related domestic abuse incidents, almost double the figure from the previous tournament. •Additional research indicated a dramatic association between alcohol-fuelled celebrations (or disappointments) and violent incidents. On days when England won, there was a 47 per cent rise in alcohol-related domestic abuse. These events, while a source of national pride and community, can also act as triggers for harmful behaviours in some individuals, putting women and girls at greater risk. Lydia Patsalides spokesperson for the charity Crimestoppers said: 'Sport should unite and inspire us, and for the most part it does. But we cannot ignore the well-documented rise in violence towards women and girls that coincides with major fixtures. These are not isolated incidents - they represent a national issue that affects communities across the UK.' The new campaign encourages the public to recognise the signs of violence and use Crimestoppers anonymous reporting service to speak up safely if they are concerned about someone's wellbeing. Crimestoppers is also working with sporting bodies, law enforcement agencies and support charities to spread awareness, challenge harmful attitudes, and promote prevention strategies at every level. A spokesman said: "If you see something say something. By speaking up – 100% anonymously – you could help save lives. No tip is too small, and your voice is vital."
