What to do in an emergency

If you are in grave danger, it is important to act quickly and find safety.
If the offender is near you or your home and is threatening you, call the police.
If possible, go to a safe and secure place and/or leave your flat. You could go to your neighbor or go out in the street or look for safety in a public place such as a restaurant, café, or anything similar.

If you are in danger or distress, call the free emergency number
