A total of one-hundred and ninety-two violence victims sought
safety from the Seif Ples Care Centre for the last three months to date.
In an interview, Seif Ples Deputy Centre Manager
Falu Maesugea said their record showed most of the victims were women,
girls and children.
Ms Maesugua said a lot of them sought shelter during celebrations of big events.
“Times like Mother’s Day and Easter Celebrations are
the times most women coming through to seek safety,” Ms Maesugea said.
“Our data shows that these are times that maybe fathers and boy-friends took alcohol and so on,” she said.
Ms Maesugea said alcohol is the main cause of many
who came to seek care from the centre.
“Most of the women and girls who come around
mentioned to us that their aggressive dad or husband or boy-friend commit violence
when under the influence of alcohol,” she said.
Seif Ples is working closely with Safe the
Children in the fight against Family Violence.
