​

Sophie’s Story

"For years, I believed I had to endure my husband’s abuse because I had nowhere to go. One night, he became violent, and I knew I couldn’t stay any longer. With the help of a friend, I packed my things and left while he was at work. A domestic violence shelter took me in and helped me rebuild my life. Today, I’m free and stronger than ever."

​

Maria’s Story

"I was financially dependent on my partner, and he controlled every aspect of my life. He monitored my phone, isolated me from my family, and convinced me I was worthless. One day, I secretly contacted a women’s support group. They helped me plan my escape, secure emergency housing, and access legal protection. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I now have my life back."

Legal Information: Knowing Your Rights

While we are not lawyers, we provide general information on legal protections in many countries. It is always best to seek advice from a legal professional or a domestic violence organization in your area.

​

Legal Protections for Victims of Domestic Abuse

​

Restraining Orders/Protection Orders – Available in most countries, these orders legally prevent an abuser from contacting or approaching you.

Emergency Police Assistance – In many places, police can remove an abuser from the home if they pose a danger.

Housing Rights – Some countries provide emergency housing or allow you to remain in your home while the abuser is removed.

Child Custody Protections – Courts often prioritize the safety of children in cases of domestic abuse.

​

How to Document Abuse for Legal Purposes

If you are considering legal action, it is important to gather evidence:

• Keep a diary of abusive incidents, including dates, times, and descriptions.

• Take photos of injuries or property damage.

• Save messages, emails, and voicemails that contain threats or abuse.

• Seek medical records if you have been physically harmed.

• Have a trusted person aware of your situation who can support your claims if needed.

• If you need legal assistance, we can help connect you with professionals who specialize in domestic abuse cases.

 

Safety Planning: Securing Your Future

If you are still in an abusive situation, planning is essential. Below are strategies to help you stay safe and prepare for leaving when the time is right.

​

1. Securing a Safe Room in Your Home

If possible, identify a room with a lock where you can go in case of danger.

Keep a charged phone in this room to call for help.

Avoid rooms with weapons or hard surfaces (e.g., the kitchen or bathroom).

​

2. Planning Your Escape

Keep important documents (passport, ID, bank details) hidden but accessible.

Store an emergency bag with money, clothes, medication, and essentials.

Arrange a code word with a trusted friend or family member that signals you need help.

Identify safe places you can go (friends, family, shelters).

Plan how you will leave (public transport, taxi, trusted contact).

​

3. Digital Safety Tips

Clear your browser history after searching for help.

Use a private or incognito window when researching escape plans.

Change your passwords regularly and use two-factor authentication.

Turn off location services on your phone if your abuser monitors you.
