I am a marriage immigrant. I would like to inquire about the Domestic Violence Victims Protection Center (shelter). I recently reported my husband's domestic violence issue to the police, but I couldn't make a proper statement because I didn't know Korean well. My husband speaks Korean well, so he must have made a good statement. So the police didn't believe me and only believed what my husband said. I became a foreigner who only lie. I really don't think I can live with him anymore. That's why I'm thinking about going to a domestic violence shelter. But I heard when I entered the shelter, my cell phone was taken away and I was told that I had to live without any contact for more than 6 months. Is it true?

In particular, the Korean government is operating the Danuri Call Center to help multicultural families live in Korea. All marriage immigrants can access interpreter services through this center. If you are unable to call a foreigner for interpreting assistance at the police station, you may be able to get an interpreter service through Danuri Call.
Domestic Violence Shelter
Domestic violence shelters are usually enlisted by women for their husband's domestic violence, but their location should not be exposed. This is because the husband can come and assault her wife again, and mess around.
Therefore, most shelters take away and store cell phones so that residents do not disclose their location while talking on the phone to their husbands or friends. However, whenever a resident wants to use a mobile phone, the mobile phone can be returned and used.
Perhaps there are marriage immigrants who live in shelters without hearing about this. If this information is not delivered in the field, a shelter for marriage immigrants is like a prison, and it is a violation of human rights.
About this issue, Papaya Story spoke to the manager of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and delivered the story of the questioner. Interpreting police stations and delivering shelter rules, etc. Situation of marriage immigrant using the facilities when needed are expected to be more improved in the future.
