If you have experienced right-wing violence you might feel the same way as many other people in this situation: overwhelmed and abandoned. We offer support according to your needs and will work with you to find the solution that suits you best. You decide what is right for you.

We take what you say seriously and will support you with advice and action when you assert your rights or seek to enforce your interests. Our stance is the same regardless of whether we are speaking with you on an individual basis or supporting you in your dealings with authorities and in public. Our aim is to provide practical solidarity for individuals affected by right-wing violence so as to strengthen their agency.

Who do we advice?

We offer practical advice and support to anyone who has experienced violence or hostility because of criteria auch as:

• Appearance
• Origin
• Language
• Religion
• Gender identity
• Sexual orientation
• Disability
• Poverty
• Homelessness
• Making a stand against racism and right-wing violence.

Our services are also open to undocumented individuals.

Furthermore, we advise and counsel family, friends and colleagues of individuals affected by right-wing violence either presently or in the past. Witnesses of right-wing attacks are also welcome.

If it is difficult to find a common language, we will seek an interpreter.

What do we offer?
