Domestic and sexual violence can happen to anyone, including you. It's time to stop enduring or ignoring it and report it.
Quick support from public, private, and police sectors for recovery!
The Gimpo City Hope Team provides support in this way.
A, who suffered from her husband's alcohol-fueled violence, endured repeated assaults that left her with bruises and minor fractures, as well as deep emotional scars.
Eventually, A reported the incidents to 112 and received support from the Gimpo City Hope Team.
How has A's life changed since then?
Economic Support
Support for medical expenses due to domestic violence:
- ✔ Treatment costs for sprains, minor fractures, and bruises
- ✔ Costs for issuing injury certificates
Safety Measures for Victims and Families
After reporting to 112, the police applied for temporary measures (prohibition of contact) against the perpetrator.
Until the verdict is finalized:
- ✔ Temporary accommodation support
- ✔ Connection to women's shelters to prioritize the protection of the victim and family
Psychological Support
After the prohibition of contact with the perpetrator, A was able to return home safely. However, the anxiety and depression caused by long-term violence did not easily fade away.
- ✔ Initial counseling
- ✔ Support for private psychological counseling center connections
Legal Support
To ensure ongoing protection from the perpetrator:
- ✔ Support for applying for a restriction on accessing resident registration
- ✔ Support for legal consultation with a lawyer
Victim Safety Monitoring
To prevent recurrence in families at risk:
- ✔ Regular safety monitoring
- ✔ Continuous guidance on domestic violence response methods
- ✔ Connection to additional necessary support
Through A's case, we examined the integrated support system of the Gimpo City Hope Team.
Violence is not an issue that individuals should bear alone.
Requesting help is an act of courage and a right to be protected.

The Gimpo City Hope Team will be with you for your safety and recovery.
