Domestic Violence Services on Other Languages

If you or your family is in immediate danger, call 911.

If you have been abused by an intimate partner, contact:

• 211 Community Information Line by dialing 211 or 1-800-621-4636.



• Multi-lingual Access Project (MAP)

MAP provides information on domestic violence and how to get help in nine languages: Amharic, Cambodian, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese. Additional languages are planned.

MAP provides a wide range of information including how to get out of immediate danger and find safe housing. Interpreters, police, shelters, hotlines, advocacy services and multilingual service agencies are listed along with information for concerned relatives, friends and co-workers.
