National Domestic Violence Hotline had its busiest year ever, with more than half a million calls in 2018

NBC -

The hotline helps those experiencing domestic violence, as well as survivors who are trying to rebuild their lives after escaping their abusers — women such as Laura White, 60, of Austin, Texas.
White called the hotline in September 2010, a year after her husband shot her in the abdomen when she tried to serve him with divorce papers. White barely survived and was hospitalized for three months. Afterward, she was living on her own and in constant fear for her safety — even though her husband was behind bars and eventually sentenced to life in prison for the shooting.



“I wouldn’t necessarily say that there’s more domestic violence happening,” Ray-Jones said. “I think what is happening is, there’s a lot of discourse around the complexities around domestic violence now.”
