Safety considerations
Always trust your judgment: you know your situation best.
If you’re being watched or supervised, try to look for patterns in the person’s daily routines. Take note of when you’re left alone and for how long. This can help you figure out the safest time to leave.
If someone is monitoring or has access to your smartphone, computer or tablet, clear the browser history and cache every time you use them.
If possible, have a go-bag ready so you can leave quickly. Pack it with a change of clothes, medications, ID, important papers, any money you have, and contact information for trusted people or services.
