Migrant women experiencing domestic or sexual violence can get support regardless of immigration status — including those without valid status.
📌 Key points
Support includes counseling, medical, legal and interpretation help, and emergency shelter — shelters also provide housing, meals, and job training. Call the women's emergency line 1366 or Danuri 1577-1366 — both 24 hours.

⚠️ Things to watch out for
Discuss your immigration situation at the same time. Support for violence and keeping F-6 status are separate matters — in a divorce, raising children or showing the breakdown was not your fault affects your stay. Handling them separately can hurt you on one side.
