Domestic violence in the presence of children is an unknown pandemic.
The Foundation,
its vision and mission
To protect children by reducing the psychological impact of domestic violence against them within the couple and the home.
We are fighting for more favourable justice for victims of domestic violence. We are fighting to reduce the impact of this violence, which in turn affects children, often irreversibly. We fight to improve their protection. We do this by informing and sensitising political representatives, the Swiss authorities and the courts in a meaningful way. We do this with the aim of changing their approach to domestic violence.
