List of helplines in 46 countries

The following is a table of the national women’s helplines available in the 46 European Countries. If there is no national helpline, a regional or general helpline is listed (these countries are marked with a *). Women’s national helplines are among the most vital services for women survivors of violence, they are one of the first places women can turn to receive immediate counselling and advice. It is important to note that some of the following phone numbers cannot be called from abroad, as they are strictly national helplines and can only be used within the country. In such instances, we invite you to get in touch directly with the WAVE members in relevant countries.
