Preparatory stage
Plan your escape ahead of time.
Make copies or photos of important documents (passport, identification code, birth certificates of your own and children, marriage certificate, ID, title documents, medical reference cards, etc.).
Close bank accounts in advance and secretly, deposit and hide cash for 3-5 days.
Make duplicates of keys.
Collect essential items (medicines, hygiene products, clothes, shoes, valuables, jewelry).
Keep copies of collected documents and things in a safe and accessible place for you or with people you trust.
Delete the search history on the Internet, turn off the geolocation service in the settings of your smartphone (tablet, laptop), delete the history of e-mail correspondence and chat history in instant messengers, block your own accounts in social networks.
Arrange with neighbors, friends, and loved ones about signals that you're in danger so they know when you need help.
Find a place that would become a temporary safe haven.
Remember that the abuser can be not only relatives by law, but also roommates, brides, ex-spouses, regardless of whether you live together, as well as people who are not your relatives, but are connected with you by common life.
