Silent Solution
-
If you’re in danger and can’t speak during a 999 call, you must still call 999 first.
-
When the operator answers, don’t hang up. If possible, make some noise (like coughing or tapping).
-
If nothing is heard, the operator will prompt you. Press 55 on your keypad when prompted — this lets the system know it’s a genuine emergency and will route your call to the police.
Important
Dialling 55 by itself won’t call the police. You must first call 999, stay on the line, and then press 55 if you can’t speak.
Across cultures worldwide
Women are asking the same question.
Globally
One of the most common questions women ask is where to find clear, honest information
about risk and safety — before leaving home, not after harm occurs.
She Voice
Exists to answer that question.It is Kulturalism’s women’s safety initiative, built around practical guidance,
real-world risk awareness, and tools that help women protect themselves in everyday situations.

61%+
Women and girls account for the majority of detected human trafficking victims worldwide.

DVDS
Clare’s Law (the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme) allows police to share limited information about a person’s history of domestic abuse in certain circumstances. It can help some individuals assess risk — but it is not a guarantee of safety, and it does not prevent abuse.
Disclosure
Disclosures can be refused, delayed, or restricted. Information shared may be partial, based only on recorded incidents, and does not reflect unreported abuse — which remains widespread.
Limitations
Clare’s Law should be understood as one tool, not a solution. Real safety requires awareness of risk, practical planning, and access to clear, honest information — not reassurance based on incomplete data.
This is not to discourage reporting, but to ensure people understand that Clare’s Law disclosures can be refused or restricted in some circumstances.
