A milestone is reached!

"A milestone for the care of women affected by violence in Spandau has been done!" Cheers Franziska Milata, the managing director of the association. At a time when, according to the Berlin monitoring, violent delinquency (2023), the cases of domestic violence in Spandau are terrifying 40.1 % above the Berlin average, the opening of this specialist office is an absolute must!

With the help of a round table, in which high -ranking representatives from politics and social services took part, the path was prepared to ensure the necessary financial support for this essential institution. After all, women who are affected by violence no longer have to be left in a dark hour - they now find the backing that they deserve!

The opening ceremony will be a future -oriented festival with an exciting program, including readings, workshops, childcare and culinary delights! State Secretary Micha Klapp will also be there - a sign of how important these projects are on a political level!
