is part of it…
…still !
The Women’s Coun­seling Center has been working for and with women against violence in all its forms for over 40 years. It is also the first point of cont­act for all matters concer­ning women.

Coun­seling

We are here for you! Every woman expe­ri­en­ces situa­tions in her life in which ever­y­thing beco­mes too much or simply cannot go on.
A conver­sa­tion can help.

Women often expe­ri­ence rejec­tion, unequal treat­ment, deva­lua­tion and much more.

Many are not sure whether they are expe­ri­en­cing violence.
Violence occurs in many ways.

For exam­ple, it is violence if he

  • threa­tens
  • insults, humi­lia­tes
  • lockes up and moni­to­res
  • control­les and keeps away from your friends and rela­ti­ves
  • punches, pushes, kicks, chokes…
  • forces you to have sex
  • black­mai­les and threa­tens to kill hims­elf if you want to leave

We know that many of our clients have expe­ri­en­ced various forms of violence.

Ever­yone has a right to a life without violence!
Get active!
Get help and support for yours­elf (and your child­ren)!
