The phrase "There is safety in numbers" means that being part of a group makes you less vulnerable to danger or harm. It suggests that people are safer or more secure when they are part of a crowd or when they join forces with others.
The phrase originates from the Latin proverb "Defendit numerus," which likely refers to a military context where being part of a larger force offered protection. It first appeared in English around 1550.
