Sexual violence work

Sexual violence is a traumatic, insecure and difficult experience. Untreated, sexual violence can cause long-term harm in everyday life and relationships. That’s why it’s good to deal with the matter together with a safe and professional adult.

We offer support and help to girls and young women aged 13-29 who have experienced sexual violence. The service is free, confidential and low-threshold individual and group professional support.

Those who have experienced sexual violence can contact the sexual violence worker Anna Korhonen,

Support for those who have experienced gender-based violence

Gendered violence is e.g. human trafficking, honor-related violence and sexual violence. We walk next to girls and women with immigrant backgrounds when they become aware of violence, deal with the experiences of violence and when they recover from it. Contact us for more information!
