Social worker, I’ve experienced violence at the hands of my husband, and this is my first time coming to court for a hearing. What should I say? Will the judge be harsh? I’m afraid my husband will wait for me outside after the hearing; what should I do?

When people step into an unfamiliar courthouse, they often feel anxious and helpless. Our organization has been established to provide immediate comprehensive assistance to victims of domestic violence. 
“Domestic Violence Service Centers” near or within the courts. 

Judicial social workers assist them in applying for protection orders, providing legal advice, connecting them with a variety of social services, and aiding before, during, and after court hearings to reduce the anxiety of victims in the courtroom.

Additionally, we offer numerous service programs as well as advocate for “gender equality” and a pleasant judicial environment.
