Ex-partner brutally attacks woman: children traumatized in Delmenhorst!
Many women in Germany are still fighting against the shadow of violence that threatens them from former partners. This is illustrated by a tragic incident that recently occurred in Delmenhorst. A 43-year-old man seriously injured his 38-year-old ex-partner in his apartment. When the woman visited him, the situation escalated. The man's actions seriously disrupted their interactions with their children, a three-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter.
The woman fled the apartment, bleeding and panicking. An attentive witness noticed the desperate situation, saw the injured woman with the screaming children and immediately called the emergency number. While the alleged attacker was found in his apartment, he had to go to a closed psychiatric facility after a medical assessment. The decision about the duration of his stay lies in the hands of a judge ndr.de reported.
Support offers for those affected
In Delmenhorst and beyond, the Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO) offers a women's shelter that provides refuge for those seeking help. Women and their children who are affected by mental or physical abuse can be admitted here around the clock. The building remains secret for security reasons to provide protection to vulnerable women. Personal items and important documents can be brought to the women's shelter to make it easier to start over without violence. The employees particularly emphasize that they do not have conversations with the perpetrators and that those affected can organize the advice individually, as the AWO states on its website ( awo-delmenhorst.de ).
A strong support system
In Germany there is a well-organized support system for women affected by violence. This not only offers women's shelters, but also women's shelters and specialist advice centers. These include, among other things, advice centers for women and girls as well as helplines that are available around the clock. It is particularly important that this support system is aimed at all women affected by violence, regardless of their origin, social status or education. The children affected by the violence also receive special offers of help ( Frauenhauskoordination.de ).
Despite the extensive offerings, there are differences in the regional availability of this assistance. There are often insufficient human and material resources, which makes it difficult to support affected women and their children. Furthermore, there is a lack of uniform financing and a legally anchored right to protection and help.
Finally, it should be noted that supporting such assistance is essential to protect women from violence and to support them. Only through a functioning support system can women gain new courage and strive for a life free of violence.
