Our association: In simple words

Our association is called Frauen stärken Frauen e.V.
It was founded in 1985.

The association consists of 3 centres:

1. the women’s advice centre
2. the girls’ advice centre
3. the women’s refuge

These centres are there for women and girls

• who have a problem,
• who are afraid,
• who are being hurt,
• who want to leave home
• because they are being hurt.

The association helps all women and girls.

It doesn’t matter

• where you come from,
• what you think,
• what you look like,
• whom you love,
• what language you speak,
• what your religion is.

We’re on your side.
