* Victims of sexual violence can consult a Centro de Violencia Sexual (CVS, Centre for Sexual Violence), which are public services financed by the Ministry for Women and Gender Equality. The work done by the CVS is very good but there are only about 3 centers across all of Chile, so the waiting list is HUGE; in any case they will be able to refer people needing urgent assistance to the best options close to them. | |||
* People suffering gender violence can contact the Centros de la Mujer (Women's centers, which are basically shelters offering services for women suffering domestic violence. | |||
* As a result of recent scandals of sexual assault and harassment within educational establishment, many students of different universities of Chile have organized in groups known as Secretarías de Género or Vocalías de Género to offer support to other students victim of gender violence, so if a user of the website is visiting Chile to study, they can make contact with the Vocalía/Secretaría de Género of their university (not all universities have one) and find some sort of support. | |||
