Domestic violence is not only physical violence but also long-term humiliation or verbal abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Domestic violence knows no limits. It can take place between people of the same nationality, as well as in a mixed couple of a Czech person and a migrant. Migrants who become victims of domestic violence feel the same pain and humiliation as other people but in comparison with Czech citizens, their position is even more disadvantaged. Their vulnerability is caused by a lack of knowledge of the Czech language, a lack of awareness of their rights, social isolation and restrictions on their residence in the CR. For these reasons, they are easy victims. They do not know how to defend themselves effectively or are afraid of defending themselves. They are usually dependant on a family member who uses violence against them. Often it is also difficult for them to access professional services or they do not trust such services.<\/p>\n<div class=\"box-fixa\"><br \/>\nIf you become a victim of domestic violence or if you know somebody who is likely a victim of domestic violence, contact the Police of the CR directly(tel. 158) or one of the following specialised NGOs:<br \/>\n<\/div>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>SIMI (Association for Integration and Migration)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Baranova 33, Prague 3<\/p>\n<p>+420 224 224 379, 603 547 450<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:poradna@refug.cz\">poradna@refug.cz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.migrace.com\/en\/\">\/\/www.migrace.com\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SIMI provides legal, social and psychosocial counselling free of charge in Czech, Russian, English and French.
