Get Help
You are not alone
If you have experienced sexism, abuse or sexual violence, or are worried about someone, you deserve support.
You do not need to have all the answers before asking for help. The specialist organisations below can help you explore your options.
togetHER provides education and training, rather than counselling or crisis support. This page helps you find specialist services.
If you are in immediate danger, call 999
If you cannot speak and are calling from a mobile, listen to the operator and press 55 when prompted to be connected to the police.
Pressing 55 does not automatically share your location.
