First aid in cases of violence against women and children in Mainz
Violence can affect any woman, regardless of her age or background. In the vast majority of cases, she knows the perpetrator. This is because the perpetrator is usually her (former) partner, a family member, or another (close) acquaintance. This makes it particularly difficult to defend herself. The same applies to children. In Mainz, there are a number of specialist centers that support women and children in finding ways out of violence.
