Animus Association Foundation

This service is appropriate for women who live in a situation of violence, but are not ready to take steps towards change; women who have noticed the first signs of domestic violence and need consultation; women victims of violence who need assistance in making a decision. The Help-line has a database of specialized assistance that women can take advantage of when facing specific difficulties. In a crisis situation, following a recent occurrence of violence, the Help-line consultants develop a security plan and refer the client to the Crisis Unit or to another appropriate programme. Most of women call the Help-line after incidences of domestic violence, sexual violence, or trafficking in women. The Help-line also provides prevention information to young women planning to travel or work abroad, so they can avoid falling prey to traffickers
