What to do
- For violence or danger now, alert police from somewhere safe.
- Seek medical care promptly for injuries and pregnancy/infection risk. Ask them to explain options.
- If you want to preserve evidence and can, avoid washing/changing before assessment. If already done, still get help.
- If your neck was compressed or breathing blocked, get medical assessment now, even without marks.
- 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.
- Neck compression/suffocation: medical assessment now even no marks. Voice/swallow/breathing change, fainting/confusion: emergency now. No symptom waiting or neck massage.
- Urgent care even after time/washing. Do not delay injury care for evidence. If preserving clothes, ask service instructions. No need to tell everyone details.
What to avoid
- It is not your fault. Do not use home sampling kits or delay care to collect evidence.
