Increase in number of reported assaults
Today is the beginning of Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Awareness Week.
Still seen as a taboo topic, the week hopes to make people who have been affected more comfortable in coming forward and talking about it.
Paula Gelling works for Victim Support Isle of Man and is the only independent sexual violence advisor on the Island.
She says people don't realise how often sexual assault occurs:
Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Two arrests made following reports of man being assaulted near Tesco
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Police say Tesco and car park will remain closed while investigation continues
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Move would 'formally recognise the area’s unique heritage, architectural character and natural environment'
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Bowring Road Tesco store closed following incident in the car park
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
Meeting to provide information on planned updates to Island’s Countering the Financing of Terrorism framework
