A new women’s shelter for girls and young women from the age of 16, a separate project in collaboration with the AMS and more intensive collaboration with the guidance service for men. The city of Vienna is now gradually expanding its anti-violence network for women.
There are currently five women’s shelters with a total of 228 places in the city. The anti-violence network is now being expanded further. Vice Mayor Kathrin Gaál (SPÖ) presented new collaborations between the women’s shelters on Wednesday morning.
In 2022, 624 women and 640 children found shelter in women’s shelters
In 2022, 624 women and 640 children found shelter and protection in the (since December 2022) five women’s shelters in Vienna. The total of all days of stay is 71,501 (figures: association of Viennese women’s shelters). There are 54 places in transit houses. An AMS project aims to restore independence to women who are victims of violence. Under the motto: “Perspective: empowering women affected by violence”, the living conditions of the women must be improved – and the Vienna Women’s Shelters Association and the AMS help them to return to work – and thus find their way back to independence.
The cooperation with men’s guidance is also being strengthened. Women whose (former) partner follows an anti-violence program are supported and advised. In the current budget, EUR 11 million has been earmarked for counter-violence measures.
