Seeking an Apprehended Violence Order
हिंसा विरुद्ध सुरक्षा आदेश खोज्ने
Context: A person seeks legal advice about obtaining an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) for protection.
Counsellor
Thank you for coming in. I understand you're in a difficult situation. Can you tell me what's been happening?
पीडित
मेरो पूर्व साथीले मलाई बारम्बार धम्की दिइरहेको छ। फोनमा, मेसेजमा, र कहिलेकाहीं मेरो घर नजिक पनि आउँछ।
Counsellor
I'm sorry you're going through this. You have the right to feel safe. Have you reported these threats to the police?
पीडित
छैन, मलाई डर लाग्छ कि रिपोर्ट गरें भने अझ बढी समस्या हुन्छ।
Counsellor
The police can apply for an AVO — an Apprehended Violence Order — on your behalf. This legally prevents the person from contacting you or coming near your home.
पीडित
AVO उल्लंघन गर्यो भने के हुन्छ?
Counsellor
Breaching an AVO is a criminal offence. The person can be arrested and charged. If you're ever in immediate danger, call Triple Zero.
पीडित
के मलाई वकील चाहिन्छ?
Counsellor
We can help you for free through legal aid. There are also specialist domestic violence services that provide safe accommodation, counselling, and court support.
पीडित
कृपया मलाई मद्दत गर्नुहोस्। म सुरक्षित हुन चाहन्छु।
Counsellor
Of course. I'll help you start the process today. We can also connect you with a Nepali-speaking case worker and arrange safe accommodation if needed.
