RIYADH – The Ministry of Social Affairs is reportedly considering setting up a hotline for abused women. The idea of having such a hotline was first mooted during the recent regional conference that marked the launch of the child support hotline, said Dr. Maha Al-Maneef, executive director of the National Family Safety Program (NFSP). The NFSP called upon the ministry's representatives to set up a hotline for women who fall victim to domestic abuse. These calls came after the NFSP received several calls at the child abuse hotline from women who said they were being abused.
