Munich - A nationwide hotline for men affected by violence has been used by 1,800 people since its launch about a year ago. The hotline receives about six to nine calls per day and the number is growing. The figures on the service, launched by the states of Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia, were presented on Monday during an online press conference. Of the requests for help, 35 per cent had come from North Rhine-Westphalia, 18 per cent from Bavaria - the rest from elsewhere in Germany. Baden-Württemberg has participated in the programme since 1 April.
