Many organizations are reporting a surge of incidents of abuse while people are stuck at home.
The National Network To End Domestic Violence says Covid 19 has some people stuck at home with their abusers and that transportation is key to getting them out of those situations.
Rideshare company Uber is stepping up to help.
Uber is donating thousands of free rides and meals to people experiencing domestic violence.
The company says it is giving 50,000 rides to domestic abuse organizations and shelters in more than 30 cities and in 16 countries.
The company says it will also provide 45,000 free meals to the shelters.
If you need help or know someone who does, Uber says you can contact their partners at NoMore.org and the National Network To End Domestic Violence.
