Our association
Who we are
Autonomous and self-governed.
We protect women & children.
The Frauenhaus und Beratung e.V. association has been in existence since 1976 and is an autonomous and self-governed association. Our association consists of three projects, all of which are committed to the protection of women and children affected by violence.
We work in various committees and working groups, standing together against patriarchal violence. 
What we stand for
We stand
by your side.
Against violence – for quick help.
- We represent an intersectional feminist attitude and are opposed to patriarchal violence.
We take the side of women and children, which means we stand up together with them against male violence.
We wish to publicise violence, oppose it and abolish it.
We fight against discrimination, racism, classicism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and ableism. We do not accept unequal treatment.
We demand a world in which women and children no longer have to experience violence.

Violence against women
Violence has many faces.
Every third woman in Germany experiences violence.
For example, by their partner, family members, relatives or other persons. Many women (and their children) experience violence in their life, no matter how much money or what level of education they have, how old they are, how they look or where they come from.
There are many forms of violence:
Physical violence
Psychological violence (e.g. threatening, disparaging, controlling)
Sexualized violence (e.g. touching you, suggestive comments, messages with sexual content)
Social isolation
Deprivation of liberty (imprisonment)
Rape
Deprivation of money
Trafficking in women and sexual exploitation
Forced marriage
Digital violence (e.g. sending pictures or videos, constant contact or harassment, fake profiles)
Stalking (e.g. following, ambushing, unwanted gits)
- Patriarchal violence.
No matter what violence, no matter who exercises it – we fight together!
