An association helps: The path from the women's shelter to a home without violence is difficult. The Second Stage program not only helps with the search for an apartment, with the application folder and discussions with a future tenant.

The program requires donations of around 10,000 euros annually. These funds make the first success stories possible for women and families: “Women Helping Women’s shelter helps women without a job,” says Nicoline Pfeiffer, head of the association.
