First women's crossing in Wels-Land: a place of hope for those affected!

In Stadl-Paura, the first women's crossing in the Wels-Land district was inaugurated. This facility, which serves as a refuge for women and their children, have experienced violence or are in difficult situations, is an important step in expanding protective accommodation in Upper Austria. According to Christine Haberlander, the governor's deputy, the apartment is not only a safe living space, but also a symbol of solidarity and fresh start. "This apartment is more than just a roof over your head," said Haberlander. In addition to the existing 14 women's transition apartments in Upper Austria, another accommodation in the Urfahr area is planned, such as "https://www.meinbezirk.at/wels-wels-land/c-lokales/erste-frauenuvergung-in-stadl-paura-eroeffnet_a75321" " reported.

On October 29, a press conference took place in Eferding, in which the opening of a second women's transition apartment was announced. In view of the long journey routes to existing facilities, it is crucial to create regional accommodations. The area close to the area should make it easier for women to leave their violent partner without tearing their children from their familiar surroundings. "The goal is clear: there should be protection accommodation in every district," emphasized Haberlander. In the near future, an additional 1.9 million euros will be invested in Upper Austria to expand the capacities in these protective accommodation, which creates 20 women's places as well as at least 33 children's places in women's crossing apartments and 163 other places in women's shelters, such as christine-haber.at noted.
