If immediate safety is at risk, 112 may be faster

If a crime is happening now or someone involved is nearby and you feel unsafe, 112 may be faster help. The organizations on this page are most useful after reporting, or once immediate danger has passed, when you need recovery support such as medical or living expense assistance, legal counseling, or accompaniment to investigation and court steps.

Victim support centers, legal aid organizations, and human rights or victim advocacy groups offer different support depending on your situation and needs. You do not need to know exactly what you qualify for before calling; describing the situation and what you need now is enough to start sorting out next steps.
