What to do

1. For violence or danger now, alert police from somewhere safe.

3. For child abuse, contact Fono Ayuda 147. For immediate danger, also request police and medical help.
4. Explain you will seek help to protect them. Note their words and report promptly.
5. Once you are safe, ask someone you trust to stay with you, away from the attacker. Tell them where you are and whether you can move or speak. If danger returns, go to another safe place and report it. Do not wait to collect evidence.
6. Neck compression/suffocation: medical assessment now even no marks. Voice/swallow/breathing change, fainting/confusion: emergency now. No symptom waiting or neck massage.
7. Stay with safe uninvolved adult. No confronting alleged abuser, questioning, intimate examination/photos. Injury/suffocation/pain: medical care. Explain whom you will ask for protection.
