Damning poll finds a quarter of women fear violence and abuse this Christmas

More than a quarter of women are more concerned about being a victim of violence during the festive season, according to research.

And more than a tenth of women who have experienced abuse or harassment say that this happened at a Christmas party.

The findings come from a poll of more than 2,000 people in England and Wales carried out by Opinion Matters for the Government’s “Enough” campaign.
