Women's shelters - apply for funding
In Baden-Württemberg, there are women's and children's shelters that offer women and their children temporary protection, accommodation and care if they are exposed to or threatened by domestic violence.
The women's and children's shelters are supported by the state of Baden-Württemberg by funding measures for prevention, crisis intervention and aftercare as well as investment to provide counselling, support and protection services. They should also be available by telephone at all times in the event of emergencies and be ready to accept victims.
