Helplines – You Are Not Alone
Do You Need Help?
If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, please know that you are not alone. Seeking help is a courageous step, and you deserve a life free from violence and fear.
There are many resources available, including hotlines, counseling services, and support groups. Below, you will find helplines for different countries. Don’t hesitate to reach out—help is available.
"Stalking has been referred to as murder in slow motion, due to the often incremental, but ultimately devastating, impact this crime can have on someone's life" Call the police if you feel you are in any immediate danger. Explain why the stalker's actions are causing you fear. Keep a record or log of each contact with the stalker. You can use this log as an example.

A Message to Survivors
Dear survivor,
You are not alone. What happened to you is not your fault, and you did not deserve it. You have the right to seek help and be treated with dignity and respect.
If you feel scared or threatened by your abuser, please know that there are people and organizations ready to support you. If you are a victim of online child sexual abuse—such as grooming or sextortion—please reach out to a trusted adult. Many victims wish they had spoken up sooner, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Wherever you are, support is within reach. You are worthy of safety, care, and a future free from fear.
If you’re in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.
