Fighting violence is a great challenge. However, even small steps help to overcome it. It is enough to be not indifferent, pay attention to the situations around you and react to them as you can.
If you have witnessed violence, here are some steps that can help:
- Assess the situation (who suffered the violence, and in what condition the victim is)
- Call the police and medical care (if the life or health of the victim is at risk)
- Record what you see (take a photo, video or audio recording, because these materials can be useful for the police or evidence in court)
- Advise to seek help (hotline - 15-47 or 116 123)
- Show indifference (ask if the victim needs help, if there is someone to turn to)
