If someone close to you needs support
Let them know you’re there
- Listen without judgement. It matters to feel heard and supported.
- Don’t force them to talk. Let them decide what they want to share.
- Don’t blame the victim. Even if they don’t leave the abuser, show compassion.
Help assess the situation
- Ask if they are safe right now. Is there a threat to their life?
- If there is immediate danger, look for a safe place urgently or contact the police.
- Help them understand this is not normal. Many victims don’t realise they are experiencing violence.
Offer practical help
Think about what you can do:
- help find temporary housing
- share contacts of crisis centres
- help with documents, money, transport
- support them in speaking to a lawyer or psychologist
Share information about support services

We are always ready to help.
If there is a threat to life — act
- Call the police or a crisis centre.
- If they are afraid to call, offer to do it for them.
- If they ask you not to intervene but the situation is critical, it’s still better to seek help.
