Help for women facing violence: the 016 line
016 is a free, confidential public line of the Equality Ministry for women facing gender violence or other forms of violence against women. People around them can also call to get information. The phone line covers 53 languages, 39 of them through tele-translation.
- Why it matters
- If you do not speak Spanish well, the official page says the phone line answers in many languages, English among them. This card describes the line and does not say who is covered beyond what the page states.
- When
- You, or someone you know, is facing violence as a woman and wants to know where to get information, legal advice or support in Spain.
