In its women’s shelter, the Fondation Armée du Salut Switzerland offers a safe haven to women in distress aged 18 and over and their children. Here, women affected by physical, sexual, psychological or financial violence find protection and calm. The length of stay varies according to individual needs.
As well as safe accommodation at a secret address, we offer women professional advice and support. Together, we plan the next steps and work out new prospects for the future and life, step by step.
In addition to personal counselling, our services include support in the referral system and socio-therapeutic services for women and children. We also offer children’s play activities on a daily basis.
