Le Pertuis is an emergency shelter open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. It is aimed at adults, either on their own or with child(ren), who are going through a crisis, including domestic and family violence. Stays last for around one month, during which time everyone is provided with a safe haven and a space for reflection that encourages them to embrace new prospects for their lives.
To help its residents move beyond their crisis, the support team offers personalised guidance tailored to the specific issues surrounding domestic violence. It also provides parenting support, as well as assistance with administrative procedures.
A distinctive feature is that the centre welcomes not only victims but also a small number of alleged or confirmed perpetrators of domestic violence. The focus is on the individual, in a spirit of respect, openness and the creation of new possibilities. As the recognition of suffering is the common thread among all guests, the shared living arrangement between adults provides real added value.
Accommodation, food and socio-educational support are included in the services provided. Overnight stay: CHF 90 per adult / CHF 50 per child.

Mission
We offer direct assistance to children and young people. We assess their circumstances with regard to children’s (procedural) rights, provide information and advice, act as an intermediary between on-site specialists and children and young people, make recommendations and report annually to the federal government and the cantons.
We are committed to ensuring that all specialists in the legal system are familiar with the Guidelines of the Council of Europe on child-friendly justice and that children’s (procedural) rights are properly applied. We can only achieve this goal if all specialists are serious about implementation and if everyone is aware of the importance of providing direct support with regard to the concerns of children, and of building their resilience and offering effective protection.

People who are exposed to violence, either in isolation or repeatedly, are under big stress. This can have long-term psychological and/or physical consequences. Domestic violence, in particular, has a significant impact on the health of parents and their children. In order to break out of this cycle of violence, you can count on the support of the Valaisan network for intervention against domestic violence, of which the Violence Medicine Unit is a part.
If you have been sexually abused or if you are under 16 years of age, please contact the emergency services of the Valais Hospital for help.

L’association a pour objectifs:
- Ecouter et conseiller les victimes pour qu’elles prennent conscience qu’elles sont victimes de violence domestique (physique et/ou psychologiques).
- Faire connaître et reconnaître les différentes formes de violence domestiques.
- Collaborer avec les autres associations et acteurs institutionnels actifs dans la lutte contre les violences domestiques (par ex. le centre LAVI).
Entre la peur, la honte ou le découragement, nous, victimes, avons parfois du mal à trouver les ressources nécessaires pour dénoncer ce que nous avons subi et nous reconstruire.
Imaginé et réalisé par une ancienne victime, ce site offre une large palette d’informations légales et pratiques, mais aussi de précieux témoignages d’autres victimes qui racontent leur histoire.
