We are a non-profit girls' and women's shelter as well as a legal shelter that has existed since 2004 where we went under another organization name.
Since 2019, the association goes by the name Lex Femme.
We support and help victims of violence through a nationwide telephone, chat and legal hotline as well as an extensive lecture activity. We are specifically focused on women of foreign heritage and offer help in their mother tongue.
At present, Lex Femme can offer support and advice in almost 40 languages. We are a non-partisan and non-religious non-partisan association.
Our main goal is to strengthen women's and girls' right not to be exposed to physical and psychological violence, violence in the name of honor, threats of violence, forced marriage, sexual abuse and harassment, etc. We offer help and support to girls and women from all over Sweden.
Our vision The organization must work for an equal society and work for all girls and women to live a life free from violence. Our long-term strategy In order for the organization to achieve its vision, we work preventively through opinion formation and offer support for women who are or have been exposed.
Our daily tactics by running a girls' and women's non-profit organization, we provide support in times of crisis, legal advice, practical help over the phone and the opportunity for physical meetings.
To prevent violence, the organization conducts opinion-forming work through e.g. lectures, workshops and visits various activities to inform about men's violence against women and the work of the women's shelter.
We can contribute with lectures and workshops in various subject areas concerning violence in close relationships. We possess a cultural understanding and linguistic competence, which means that we can educate others in different languages.
