Protection against violence
Are people pressuring or threatening you, e.g. in the refugee shelter, your husband, your family ? Is someone being physically or psychologically violent towards you? You can tell Refugee Sisters everything. We will listen but we won't pass your story on to anyone. We'll help you to find a way to deal with this issue and we'll tell you where and how you can get protection. We know a lot of organisations who can help if you experience violence. We also work with experienced lawyers who can support you. If you are not safe in the refugee shelter or the place you are staying, we know where you can find a safer place to stay.
If you are experiencing violence, these organisations in Hamburg can help you:
