About us

The Paritätische Kooperation Women’s Shelter Munich is a project of Frauenhilfe München. The shelter offers women — with or without children — protection, professional support, and the opportunity to leave a life shaped by violence.

In addition, women experiencing significant psychological stress or living with a mental health condition receive psychological and psychiatric counseling and referral services at our shelter. A psychiatric diagnosis is not an exclusion criterion. We provide non-discriminatory support and actively strengthen each woman’s sense of self-efficacy.

Our goal: to support women — especially those facing high psychological burdens — on their path back to a life free from violence and self-determined.

For a Life Free from Violence

Every person has the right to live free from violence. We actively advocate against violence toward women* and their children and work to promote awareness, protection, support, and safety.

Our women’s shelter is open to:

  • Women* who have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual violence

  • Women* with or without children

  • Women* regardless of origin, religion, residency status, or sexual identity

  • Women* experiencing high psychological distress or living with a mental health condition

Protection and New Perspectives for a Life Free from Violence

Frauenhilfe München supports women in freeing themselves from lives shaped by violence and in building self-determined futures. Our work is grounded in the right to physical and psychological integrity and in the guiding principle: women’s rights are human rights.

We stand alongside women* who have experienced violence or are threatened by it. We believe their accounts, create safe spaces, and foster a culture of respect. Non-violent communication, mutual consideration, and the strengthening of self-determination shape our daily work.

Children who come to us with their mothers find protection, stability, and the opportunity for a childhood free from violence — in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

We value and respect every person — regardless of social background, cultural heritage, or sexual identity. Our work is intercultural in approach, low-barrier in access, and centered on the needs of those affected.

We promote individual strengths, reinforce personal resources, and create space for new perspectives.
