List of hotlines in 46 countries : https://wave-network.org/list-of-helplines-in-46-countries/
Here is a table of national helplines for women available in the 46 European countries. If there is no national hotline, a regional or general hotline is indicated (these countries are marked with *). National Helplines for Women are one of the most vital services for abused women, and are one of the first places women can turn to for immediate assistance and counselling.
It is important to note that some of the following phone numbers cannot be called from abroad, as these are strictly national helplines that can only be used in the country. In this case, we invite you to contact WAVE members in the relevant countries directly.
