COVID-19: help women victims of violence

Thanks to the donations that are continuously collected through this platform, we have been able to continue to provide various forms of help and support to women who are in emergency situations. Donations allow us to respond adequately and in real time to the still increasing needs of women as a result of the still current Covid 19 pandemic.

The crisis has highlighted a number of systemic shortcomings. DOMINE provides counseling services, but over the last couple of years (2020) Counseling has started to act like a crisis center and this continues to this day. This is also the reason why we launched the initiative to open the first Crisis Center in Split (and in Croatia). In addition, we have expanded the forms of support we offer - financial and material support, 24-hour telephone availability and field visits (mainly to rural areas, areas with bad transport connections, low-income users or users with health conditions).

The money raised through the platform from the beginning of April until today has been used to cover services provided to women who contacted Counseling center, for which the organization did not have the funds. The costs of one part of psychological, psychosocial and legal counseling were covered, beneficiary emergency crisis accommodationa and direct financial assistance to cover basic living needs. In the last period the most funds were used for psychological support and crisis accommodation.

Covid isn't in a full swing anymore but the crisis has not decreased. The need for financial and material assistance remains high, and the funds allocated to civil society organizations for direct work with beneficiaries are insufficient. Nevertheless, we are making every effort to secure funding and continue to help women in need.

We hope that you can spread the word about the efforts we are making in trying to create better and more accessible services for women who are suffering violence!

We wish you very happy holidays and all the best in the New Year!

Thank you from Domine team!
