Women's Refuge is run by Women's Aid, helping people and children fleeing such situations.
It follows a global increase of domestic violence, described by the UN as a 'shadow pandemic' alongside Covid-19.
Women's Aid chair person Ita McArdle says they haven't seen a spike here yet, but it is likely to happen:
