One woman in four will experience domestic abuse at some point in her lifetime and on average two women are killed each week in England and Wales by a current or former partner.

According to research carried out by Health Assured, domestic abuse cases rise by 26% when England play, 28% if they lose, and regardless of the outcome 11% the next day.
