“You are not stuck at home, you are safe at home.” 

This is the slogan circulating throughout the media to reassure citizens currently self-isolating to limit the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, there is an extremely vulnerable demographic that this message neglects – women and children living with domestic violence. Not only does isolation significantly increase rates of abuse, so does the substantial rise in depression, anxiety, irritability, and substance abuse associated with the present uncertainty the world is facing. For some, this can be a deadly combination. 

Together with the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women, Interval House of Ottawa, Ottawa Victim Services and the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre, Crime Prevention Ottawa is pleased to announce the launch of Unsafe at Home Ottawa, a secure and supportive text and online chat line for victims and survivors of domestic and gender-based violence.
