One of the fundamental pillars of our society is the presence of strong and stable families. In 2024, the inaugural edition of the Domestic Violence Trends Report1 by the Ministry of Social and Family Development, which provides an overview of key domestic violence trends in Singapore, was published. From 2021 to 2023, the number of new Tier 2 cases (those with high safety and risk concerns for the vulnerable person, which may warrant more intrusive statutory intervention to keep the individual safe) decreased. However, the number of new Tier 1 cases (those with low-to-moderate safety and risk concerns for the vulnerable person) increased, suggesting greater awareness and willingness by survivors and the public to report abuse and seek help early. |
