If you have been attacked…

because of your ethnic, national origin,

colour of skin,

religion, handicap, sexual orientation or identity, you can:

 Call for assistance the people on the street or other witnesses.
 Contact the police (go to the nearest police station or dial 100 or call the Greek Police hotline 11414).
If you don’t have legal residence documents you should know that in the cases provided by law a residence permit for humanitarian reasons is granted to victims and witnesses if a preliminary investigation or prosecution is ordered. You can first contact organizations listed below in order to get information about your rights and the procedure for protection of undocumented victims and witnesses.
 Go to the hospital in order to get a medical certificate and any other document proving that the attack took place and the injuries you sustained.
 Approach the Network’s organizations listed at the back to report the incident and request assistance.

If you want to file a complaint, you must talk to a lawyer in order to see if filling a complaint is possible considering the data and the witnesses available. You can find lawyers that provide free assistance to racist violence victims, including migrants and refugees with or without legal residence in the country, at the organizations participating in the Network.
