After experiencing sexual assault, harassment, intimate partner violence, or stalking, it can be helpful to talk through your options with a trained advocate. Georgia Tech makes advocates available through the VOICE at (404) 894-9000.

If you need medical attention or wish to have medical evidence collected, you can go directly to the emergency department of an area hospital that provides adult and adolescent SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) services.

Additional Information on what to do if you have experienced sexual assault is available through VOICE.

If you are a victim of violence, you can file a petition for a temporary protective order. A protective order restrains the accused person, also known as the respondent, from harassing, stalking, or threatening the physical safety of the petitioner.

There is no cost to file a petition for a protective order under the state’s Family Violence Act. Petitions must be filed with the Clerk’s Office of the Superior Court of the county where the respondent resides (contact information for local Superior Courts is included below).

There are three types of protective orders available in Georgia: family violence protective orders, stalking protective orders, and employer protective orders. You’ll have to specify which type of protective order you are petitioning for.

• Family violence protective orders: Victims of family violence can petition for a protective order against a spouse, family member, or household member that has committed an act of violence against the petitioner.
• Stalking protective orders: Victims of stalking can petition for a protective order against someone who has followed, surveilled, or threatened the safety of the petitioner without their consent.
• Employer protective orders: Victims of workplace violence can petition for a protective order against an employer that has threatened or committed an act of violence against the petitioner.

File a petition to the Clerk’s Office of the Superior Court of the county where the respondent resides. You must complete and sign all required paperwork. Please contact the Superior Court for information about how to submit a petition to the Clerk’s Office.

Additional information on protective orders is available at georgia.gov/get-protective-order.

VOICE can provide information on obtaining a court-issued protective order, depending on the nature of the case, but cannot provide legal representation. A violation of a court-issued order can result in criminal charges, and it is enforced anywhere in the United States. If you have a Harassment Prevention Order or Abuse Prevention Order, or a similar order issued by any court, please provide a copy to Georgia Tech Police Department. Once issued, the Office of Equal Opportunity, Compliance, and Conflict Management will work with you to make accommodations and enforce the order.
