GBV Help Desk

You Are Not Alone.

A confidential, virtual Help Desk that connects survivors of gender-based violence and domestic violence with legal aid, the police and other support services.

If you are in immediate danger, call 112 or go to the nearest safe place now. The Help Desk is not an emergency service and cannot send help to your location. If you may be watched, tap Quick Exit at any time.

How It Works

Three Steps to Support

FYN has no physical office, so the Help Desk works entirely online. You decide how much to share and how we contact you.

We respond safely

A member of the Help Desk team reviews your request and contacts you the way you chose, listens, and explains your options.

We connect you

With your consent, we link you with the right services, such as legal aid, the police, the relevant ministries and civil society organizations.
