Who else can I turn to?

If you experience violence, it can help to confide in a trusted person (family member, friend, colleague, doctor) and to seek help within your social environment. You can also use the following contact points to get advice, support and strength in case of threatening, acute or past violence.

The Violence against women support Hotline

You can contact the nationwide around-the-clock help hotline, free of charge and anonymously, and receive initial telephone counselling. An interpreting service for all languages as well as a sign language interpreter can be connected. The helpline also offers online and chat counselling.

This is an exit button. It works similar to an emergency exit. Click here if you want to leave our site quickly. The Google homepage will then appear. You can click on the exit button when someone comes into the room: the person will then not be able to see that you searched for information here.
