If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, seek help right away, advises Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

Here’s what you can do.

>  Call the 24-hour Talian Kasih helpline at 15999 or Whatsapp 019-261 5999 to report any cases of domestic violence.

>  You can also apply for an emergency protection order (EPO) through your nearest Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat office to make sure your abuser keeps their distance.

>  Contact the police to get an interim protection order (IPO) to keep you safe.
