I have been repeatedly subjected to verbal abuse and assault by my ex-boyfriend, so I think I need to receive a dating violence consultation. Even though we broke up, he still threatens me by phone and message, so I am anxious... I do not know whether I should report to the police, or where and how to use a counseling center or protection services. If I get a consultation with a lawyer, do you also help with matters related to personal protection?
Dating violence consultation

It appears that you are currently in a situation where a dating violence consultation is urgently needed.
This is because repeated verbal abuse and assault, and continued contact and threats after a breakup, all constitute major types of dating violence.
Looking at what you described, this appears to be a situation requiring comprehensive review, going beyond a simple dating violence consultation to include reporting to the police, temporary measures, and even personal protection services as a whole.
Where there is concern about the risk of retaliation during the process of receiving a dating violence consultation, several systems are in place to protect the victim.
First, if you report the harm to the police, you can receive basic personal protection measures such as the provision of a smartwatch, increased patrols, and registration for an emergency call service.
Unlike the Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking or the Act on Special Cases concerning Domestic Violence, there is no independent statute for dating violence, but if repeated violence or threats are confirmed, the police assess the risk and review protective measures.
In addition, you can make use of a legal measure by applying for a civil provisional injunction prohibiting approach, which bars the perpetrator's contact, approach, and appearance around your residence and workplace.
Because this measure can lead to indirect compulsion or a criminal response if the perpetrator violates it, it has a strong effect in protecting the victim.
Where the possibility of retaliation is high or there is an actual threat, there is also a method of using professional security personnel to receive safe transport and daily protection services.
In particular, at the stage of preparing a complaint, the perpetrator often attempts to make contact, so professional risk management is necessary.
Therefore, if you begin a dating violence consultation, reviewing a police report, legal measures, and, if necessary, professional security services together helps ensure safety.
