الحماية من العنف

Women experience physical, sexual and psychological violence in their marriage or partnership. In this private environment, which should convey trust and security, women and children are particularly often exposed to physical and emotional violence.

Fear, shame and feelings of guilt make it difficult to talk about what they have experienced. In this situation we offer women help and support.
