COMPETENT COUNSELLING

We offer anonymous, low-threshold and free of charge counselling for Turkish and Arabic speaking women. In the case of forced marriage and abduction we advise all girls and women, regardless of their origin and nationality.

Furthermore, we provide counselling on residence law, financial, psychosocial, health and in certain cases legal problems and issues arising from the above-mentioned topics.

Our basic education courses (German language skills, literacy, numeracy, digital competences) including childcare are open to women of all nationalities and affiliations.
