Local women s agencies anticipate high demand as restrictions lifted

  LONDON, ONT. Local agencies that serve abused women say they’re expecting an increase in demand for their services as pandemic-related restrictions are gradually lifted. Jessie Rodgers of Anova told a virtual news conference Friday that during lockdown their phone lines have often been eerily quiet. “Why can’t women get to the phone? What, or rather who is stopping them from coming to our door?” She says some women have been isolated at home with abusive partners, and those are the people the agency expects to hear from. “We anticipate that as we emerge from public health restrictions we will experience a deluge of request for services from community members who have been trapped in their homes.”
