The foundation serves to maintain and expand the aid offer for the affected women and children, which was previously provided by the Association for the Protection of Abused Women and their Children, Zurich. The aid offer is considered a self-help project by women for women. The purpose of the foundation is to finance and operate its houses or suitable apartments, which provide physical and psychological protection to abused women and their children day and night, immediately, unconditionally, and with care. Within the scope of achieving its purpose, these houses or suitable apartments can also be acquired by purchase. In addition to financing and operating its houses or suitable apartments, the foundation's purpose includes providing financial security and operating specific counseling and care services for the affected women and children.
