	Increase in Calls for Sexual Abuse Help Irish Times November 22, 2010 http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/1122/1224283834002.html Calls for help in dealing with sexual abuse have increased six-fold in a year, according to the charity One In Four. The counselling and advocacy organisation says that since the publication of the Murphy report in November last year, more than 1,140 people have contacted it. This is a 267 per cent increase in calls, it says. "As a result, One In Four has introduced a new support service for families where one or more members has experienced sexual violence." It is hoping to raise funds at an art exhibition and fair on Thursday at the Department of Justice on Stephen's Green, Dublin. One in Four director Maeve Lewis said: "Hundreds of sexual abuse victims have reached out to us for help since the publication of the Dublin archdiocese report into . . . abuse by the Catholic Church leadership in Dublin."
