Help for those affected by violence

Information on shelters in Brandenburg that offer protection and advice is provided by the website of the network of women’s shelters in Brandenburg.

Gender-based violence means violent behaviour inflicted upon an individual or group of individuals due to their gender identity. This term is used in order to highlight that societal structures affect a person’s risk of experiencing certain forms of violence. Those who suffer most are women and girls, trans, non-binary, and intersex persons, but so do people who do not comply with certain social norms or fit into a binary gender system.
