❓ Frequently asked

Will they take my children away?

The aim of every service is to keep you and the children safe together. Talking to the helpline is not a report to child protection.

I have no income of my own

Shelters are free; emergency financial help and housing priority exist for victims. The helpline arranges it.

My residence permit depends on my partner

Victims of domestic violence have a separate right to stay in most EU countries. Ask the helpline for a specialised legal adviser — leaving does not mean deportation.
