Leonie Philipp helps people with disabilities find a partner. There are also sex workers available to help with intimacy. How this is possible, which people the specialized social worker specifically supports and why she created a platform for this in the first place – the “Krone” spoke to the 30-year-old from Traun.
“Krone”: Mrs. Philipp, you are the founder of the online portal “Love with a Disability”. How did you come up with the idea for such a platform?Leonie Philipp: In short, this has been a problem for me for a long time, because I grew up with a mother in a wheelchair. When I was 14, she was looking for a partner again and I wanted to support her. That’s when I noticed for the first time that there were no offers for people with disabilities. Then in 2017, I completed my training as a specialist social worker and heard about an incident of a neighbor who had been brutally assaulted and sexually assaulted. The woman had cognitive impairment and was admitted to our facility for three nights. She was severely traumatized after the rape. That was an extra impetus to tackle this subject.
