It‘s important to us...

  • to work with each individual woman to find ways for her to lead a self-determined life despite her experience of violence
  • to inform the public about the extent, causes and consequences of sexual violence
  • to educate, so that sexual violence is not seen as the problem of the individual woman involved but as a socio-political problem

From woman to woman

Out of 120 women‘s emergency helplines in Germany, we are the only one in the Saarland region. The counselling centre was founded by the “Emergency Call Group for Raped and Abused Women” in 1986. Our work is financially supported by the state, by the state capital Saarbrücken and the Saarbrücken regional and district assemblies. As we must generate our own financial contribution in order to receive funding, we depend on support memberships, fine revenue and donations to secure our work. DONATION ACCOUNT:
