FAQs
Domestic Violence: common questions
What if I am in immediate danger?
Call 112 or the Women Helpline 181 first. Once you are safe, contact us. Protection applications can seek interim relief so that the court can act before the case is finally decided.
Does domestic violence only mean physical abuse?
No. The law also covers emotional and verbal abuse, sexual abuse and economic abuse, such as denying access to money or the household.
Can I stay in the house after filing a case?
The law protects a woman's right to reside in the shared household. The court can pass residence orders that prevent you from being dispossessed.
Is free legal aid available?
Legal Services Authorities provide free legal aid to eligible women. Our founder has also offered pro bono support to women in need. Please call us to discuss your situation.
