The way to the women’s refuge

A call is the first step.

What is a women’s refuge?
A women’s refuge is a shelter for women and children who are threatened or affected by violence. Here you and your children are given temporary accommodation, protection, counselling and support.

Where is the women’s refuge?
The address of the women’s refuge is secret. This means that you and your children are safe with us.

How can you reach us?
If you want to come to us, you can always call us. If we have free places, we will arrange a meeting point nearby, where we will pick you and your children up.

Who can come to us?
Every woman who experiences violence or is affected by violence can move to the women’s refuge. No matter what nationality, religion or how much money she has. With or without children. We are a place for all people who see themselves as women. We are queer-friendly. Just give us a call and we will clarify everything personally. Even if you’re not sure whether we are the right place for you. You can come to us in the case of any form of violence. No matter who exercises the violence.

Living at the women’s refuge

A safe place.

At the women’s refuge, you and your children are protected.

  • The women’s refuge is a safe place for you and your children. The address is secret.

  • You live alone or with your children in your own room. You share the kitchen, bathroom, living room and play area with the other women and children. You organize your everyday life yourself.

  • Only women who are committed to you and your children work at the women’s refuge. That is what we call partiality. We as employees are available on site at fixed times. We help you with all your concerns and support you. Children have their own contact persons.

  • Community is important to us. We do great things together, celebrate parties and go on vocation. So we can escape from everyday life and experience wonderful moments.

  • Don’t be worry about the length of your stay: you can stay as long as necessary.

  • Telgte is a beautiful small town. Larger cities can be reached in about 20 minutes. There are all shopping opportunities, doctors, daycare centres and schools nearby.

Children at the women’s refuge

Women’s refuges are always also children protection centres.

  • Children are always affected by violence themselves. No matter whether they experience violence themselves or witness it.

  • At the women’s refuge, children find a place where they can feel safe and secure. In an anxiety-free atmosphere, they can calm down, coming to terms with their experiences.

  • Here each child has their own contact person, who helps the children come to terms with the violence they have experienced and supports them.

  • We have many (individual and group) offers for your children for all age groups – for example therapeutic riding. We also organize excursions with you and the children to escape from everyday life and experience wonderful moments.

  • We accept sons up to an age of 14. If your son is older, we will discuss this together.

Intersectionality

A person can face multiple forms of discrimination for different reasons.

This might be due to their gender, skin color, social class, a disability, or sexual orientation.

All these aspects of a person are interconnected and influence each other.

This means everyone has their own experiences with discrimination and may face multiple forms of discrimination for different characteristics.

For instance:

  • A Black woman might be treated differently than a white woman because she is both a woman and Black, and these two factors interact.
  • A refugee woman with a disability might face racist discrimination, discrimination for being a woman, and challenges due to her disability (e.g., lack of accessibility in public spaces).

All these factors work together, making the person’s situation more difficult.

Patriarchal Violence

Patriarchal violence affects many areas of the society we live in. Everything considered “female” is subordinated to what is “male.” Men have historically enjoyed and still have many advantages over women, along with more power.

This occurs both at home and in public spaces – for example, at work, in politics, in government agencies, or in social environments.

Violence happens because many people think men are better or more important than women.

This often leads to women doing unpaid caregiving and household work, earning less money, or lacking access to education and school.

Patriarchal violence often aims to ensure that people who do not fit the accepted image of masculinity are oppressed and have less power.

Patriarchal violence also means that men or groups of men use violence to maintain power over women and other genders.

This violence can be physical, verbal, or take the form of control over finances.

Examples include when men:

  • Hit women
  • Harass women
  • Insult, suppress, or treat women unfairly
