Helpful hints
If you need to escape to a women’s shelter, and you have the opportunity to plan your escape, or to take things with you, we recommend thinking of the following:
• Passports
• documents e.g. Birth certificates / marriage certificate
• health insurance card (if necessary mother pass)
• account cards / money cards
• Cash
• Important medicines
• Work or pension certificate
• Income certificate
• Child allowances
• jewelry / smaller valuables
• Children’s school supplies
• Favorite stuffed animals / children’s toys
Take what they can get!
Experience has shown that it is easier to return papers, etc., to the violent partner than to get them after escaping.
