YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The nationwide lockdown has meant a rise in domestic violence and an increase in calls to helplines.

The Domestic Abuse Bill - which brings in new protections for victims - was debated by MPs in the House of Commons, with former Prime Minister Theresa May asking the government to consider the impact of the social restrictions it's imposed on the nation's health and wellbeing.
