Staying Safe     

If you are being abused, please visit our Crisis Numbers page to find your local domestic violence program. You don't have to go through this by yourself. All domestic violence programs have staff who can help you make a safety plan. You are the expert on your own life. Think about what has or has not helped you stay safer in the past as you consider the ideas below.
 
Talk about your situation with a friend or relative you trust. That person may be able to offer you support. Establish a code word or sign that you can use to let friends, family, teachers, or co-workers know when to call for help. Contact your local domestic violence program to find out about community resources and laws. Call now and they can help you develop a safety plan. Ask how you can get a protection order. If you have a protection order, keep a copy of it with you at all times. If you are in danger call 911, if it is possible to do so.
 
Plan with your children. Identify a safe place for them, such as a room with a lock or a neighbor’s house. Assure them that their job is to stay safe, not to protect you.
 
If you decide to leave, and you feel it is safe to do so, take important items with you. You may want to pack these items in advance and keep them at the home of a friend or relative.
 
Important items may include:

• Passports, green cards, work permits
• Lease agreements/House deed

• Birth, marriage and/or divorce certificates

• Address book

• ID card or Driver's license

• Medicine

• School and medical records

• Keys (house, car, office)

• Insurance Papers

• Clothes

• Money (cash, bankbooks, credit cards)

• Pictures or other sentimental items

• Car registration

• Your children’s favorite toys

If your abuser has moved out, change the locks on your doors and get locks for the windows. Screen your calls and/or get Caller ID. Consider changing your phone number and/or trading in your mobile phone. Your home computer use may be monitored, so use a safer computer at a library/public area, change passwords, and create a new and anonymous email address.

If you have moved, you may want to use the Colorado Address Confidentiality Program to protect your new address.  An advocate at your domestic violence program will be able to help you with this.
 

Manteniendo Se Seguro     

Si  está siendo abusada, favor de llamar a la agencia de apoyo para víctimas de violencia doméstica en su comunidad. Haz clic aquí para una lista de números en el estado de Colorado.

Discuta su situación con una amiga/o o con un familiar en el cual usted  confía. Establezca una contraseña con sus amigos, familiares,  u otros., para que usted  pueda avisarles cuando necesite ayuda urgentemente. Comuníquese con la agencia local que se especializa en asuntos contra la  violencia doméstica para informarse sobre los recursos disponibles y las leyes que le protejan a usted. Hable cuando esta suguro hacerlo para que le ayuden en construir un plan de seguridad. También, le pueden ayudar en conseguir un interdicto o orden de protecion. Traiga una copia del interdicto o orden consigo todo el tiempo.

Siempre hay opción de llamar al 9-1-1. En caso de un incidente de agresión severa, comunique el plan de seguridad a sus hijos. Identifique un lugar seguro para  sus hijos, como una sala con puerta que cierra con llave o la casa de un vecino. Explíqueles que a ellos no les corresponden protegerle a usted  sino mantenerse seguros ellos mismos. Si decide irse de su casa, traiga artículos importantes consigo. Tal vez quisiera empacar estas cosas de antemano y guardarlas en casa de una amistad o familiar.

Artículos importantes pueden incluir lo siguiente:

• Pasaportes, green cards, permisos de trabajo

• Contratos de arrendamiento/ Título a la casa

• Actas de nacimiento, matrimonio,  divorcio, etc.

• Librito de direcciones o domiciolios

• Identificación para todos quien tiene

• Medicinas o recetas medicas

• Licencia de manejar

• Contraseñas

• Archivos escolares y médicos

• Claves o llaves (casa, coche, oficina)

• Papeles de seguro

• Ropa

• Dinero (efectivo, cartillas, tarjetas de crédito)

• Fotos u otros asuntos de valor sentimental

• Registro del coche

• Juguetes preferidos de sus hijos

Si el abusador se ha mudado de la casa, cambie los llavines de la casa y consiga cerraduras para las ventanas. Piense en cambiar su número de teléfono, usar el servicio de “Caller ID” y hacer un cambio de teléfono celular. Su uso de la computadora en casa puede ser vigilado-por eso use una computadora en una biblioteca o en otro lugar público, cambie sus contraseñas, y cree una nueva y anónima cuenta de correo electrónico. Sobre todo construyendo una relación con una trabajadora educada y entrenada sobre las dinámicas de la violencia domestica y sobre las leyes y recursos en tu área es al paso mas profundo para seguir sus propios pasos ala seguridad.
