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.

The forensic consultation service at Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) is open to all adult victims of violence, whether domestic, family or community-based (on the public highway or in the workplace, for example).

It is run by a specially trained team of nurses, who work in close collaboration with forensic doctors.

The consultation offers victims :

• A warm welcome and an attentive ear, enabling them to talk about the violent events they have experienced.
• A clinical examination focusing on the violence they have experienced, so that forensic documentation can be compiled (report of assault and battery, photographs of injuries). The report can help the victim to assert her rights.
• Referral to a network of partner institutions and associations.

The CMLV’s premises are a calm and safe place to hear a detailed account of the violence experienced.

The medical-legal consultation for adult victims of violence (CMLV) does not deal with sexual violence, for which victims are treated in the gynaeco-obstetric emergency department for women at the HUG Maternity Hospital, and in the adult emergency department for men.
