Calls to Women’s Aid rise following Emma Murphy’s viral video

Calls to Women’s Aid jumped by almost 50% on the day that Emma Murphy's video accusing her former partner of hitting her, went viral.

And traffic to the agency’s website more than doubled the same day, as victims of domestic violence sought information about what they could do.

The video posted by Ms Murphy on her Facebook page went viral last week and, by yesterday, had recorded over 9m views.
