A not-for-profit organisation that listens, helps and protects victims of domestic violence.

The RECAP-ME association was founded in 2023 with the aim of creating a network of mothers in French-speaking Switzerland who have suffered psychological violence, and to highlight the collateral effects of violence on their children’s health.
Violence can be perpetrated by an individual or by an institution.
The aim of networking is to bring mothers out of their isolation and point them in the direction of solutions.
The association also aims to collect data on psychological violence and set up preventive actions in collaboration with other institutions.
