Urgent appeal: Zwickau urgently needs protective places against violence!

Zwickau, Deutschland - In Saxony there is an alarming deficit in protective places for people who want to flee from domestic violence. There is an acute defect in the Zwickau district, which is impressively discussed by Petra Mrasek by the Wildwasser Zwickauer Land Association. It calls for a creation of at least ten further protective places to cover the actual need. At the moment, however, the financial resources for such an extension are not available, which also tightens the situation. Many affected people, such as the 34-year-old Karin, are severely restricted by psychological and verbal violence in their families. Their everyday life, shaped by cleaning, cooking and taking care, shows how stressful life can be within a violent relationship, although it is often not the obvious physical attacks that bear the greatest load, like Freepresse.de reported.

But what can those affected do in such situations? In Germany, numerous support offers are available that often offer unbureaucratic help. In the first place, the "Violence against Women" aid telephone stands out, which is anonymous and free of charge around the clock on 116 016. Above all, women, but also men who are in a violent situation, find the necessary support and advice here. There are also specialized counseling centers and intervention centers that offer help according to police missions, such as [traumanetz-sachsen.de] (https://raumanetz-sachsen.de/ therapistry search/litory/intervention-und-koordinungsstelle-zwickau- against-hat-get-und-stalking) shows.

help telephones and contact points

The rapid availability of help is crucial and the multitude of offers is impressive. Here is an overview of relevant helping files:

• Help phone violence against women: 116 016 (24 hours available)
• Help telephone violence on men: 0800 123 99 00 (Mon-Do: 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
• Telephone counseling: 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222 (24 hours available)
• Victim phone Weisser Ring: 116 006 (daily 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.)

These contact points not only do essential advice, but also enable anonymous contact, which makes it easier for many affected to take the first step. It is also important to ensure the availability of interpreters for different languages ​​to ensure comprehensive support, as well as bmfsfj.de emphasized.

The challenge of creating a sufficient range of protective places in Saxony remains. Initiatives and clubs such as white water work intensively to draw attention to this socially relevant topic. It is clear that a lot of commitment and financial support are still necessary to counter the violence and to offer people affected the security they urgently need. It is up to all of us to support this concern and to set an example for a non -violent future.
