Violence against women


Women and girls who have been victims of violence need special counselling services provided by counselling centres for girls and women affected by rape and violence, by contact and counselling centres for sexually abused girls and women and by women's emergency services. The spectrum of counselling ranges from acute crisis intervention to individual counselling and longer-term group counselling. The offers are free of charge, the employees are subject to confidentiality.

Who should I contact?

Responsibility lies with the counselling centres. You can find counselling centres in your region via the website of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Social Affairs, Health and Equality.
