Women and Girls

In Lörrach, there are lots of counselling and information centres specifically for women and girls.

The Constitution (Article 3, Paragraph 2) of the Federal Republic of Germany states:
“Men and women shall have equal rights. The state shall promote the actual implementation of equal rights for women and men and take steps to eliminate disadvantages that now exist.”

Why are there special services for women and girls?
Women and girls can of course get help with various issues (see respective issue) from any general counselling service. But beyond that, there are certain situations such as being the victim of violence, in which it is important for women and girls to get special help and advice specifically for them.
