We are "Gewaltfrei in die Zukunft (GfZ)" and want to help those affected by gender-based and intimate partner violence, primarily known as domestic violence, to free themselves from their situation. And we want to do this safely and as simply as possible. To this end, we have developed an app. Since our foundation in 2020, we have been working on gradually implementing the app in Germany. And we are doing this together with those affected, partners from the support system, science, politics and society.
Our protected app is aimed at all women, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans*, agender people¹ who are affected by gender-based intimate partner violence.
The app has a self-test to assess your own situation, a diary and a camouflage function. The app is intended to inform those affected about the different forms of violence and serves as a bridge to the help system by providing specific information on the question "What is violence?" and on support services. It is largely low-barrier and serves as a tool for individual self-empowerment. The app is currently available in the following languages: German, simple German, Turkish, Arabic, English, Spanish and Russian. Further languages are being planned.
To ensure the results and sustainability, comprehensive scientific support is being provided from a social science and criminological perspective.
¹ We use the acronym FLINTA*, which is widespread in Germany. It stands for women (in German F for Frauen), lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans and agender people - i.e. people who are patriarchally discriminated against because of their gender and/or sexual identity.
