We are committed to nationally coordinated measures based on professional expertise in the prevention of domestic violence.
Our main aim is to prevent violence and enable people to deal with conflicts without resorting to violence, by offering professional services. We see working with perpetrators of violence as a contribution to protecting victims and preventing future violence.
(Formerly TERRE DES FEMMES Switzerland)
Brava combats violence against women and sexism in Switzerland. In so doing, we pay special attention to people in particularly precarious situations, such as women refugees.
We counter injustices by taking various approaches: with education programmes, counselling, political work and awareness-raising work.
