General Information

The Union of Women Members’ Associations of Heraklion Prefecture was established in 2000 as a Non-Governmental Organization, with Registration Number 13117 SYP. It is a Legal Person Governed by Private Law. According to the decision of the Ministry for Health and Social Solidarity, which was published in 1453/v.Β/21-10-05 FEK, it is a certified provider of Social Care Services. Objectives of the Union are:  The improvement of Women’s role in the Society,  The prominence of mother’s role in the family,  The support for equal rights and the social civilization. Our Union is active all over Crete. Actions of the Union: • “Guest House for the Abused Women and Children”: It was created in 2000 in the city of Heraklion with objective to offer hospitality, to support, to consult and provide legal aid to women and children, who have been victims of violence inside or outside their family.                • Consulting Centre: Its aim is the provision of immediate help to women who are victims of violence and their children via personal interviews, their psychological support, the offer of legal advice and, what is more, their information for the possibility of hospitality in case of emergency. • S.O.S Line - «Line of Hope», 801-11-16000, functions in a daily basis from 9.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m., no charge call, covering whole Crete.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We would like to make all our recources available for a wider public as well as seek/offer cooperation in different projects that improve the dialogue between nations and citizens from the different countries of the Mediterranean. The Burgas region historically has been and to a certain extent still is home to different nations (bulgarians living together with greeks, turks, armenians, jews); we want to keep the spirit of dialogue and understanding.
By joining the ALF Network we hope to get more information regarding the intercultural dialogue and possibly search for or become partners in international projects.
