Saarbrücken helps: 2,800 euros for women collected in need!

At the 21st Saarbrücken women's run, which took place in September 2024, donations of 2,800 euros were collected. The proceeds from this event will benefit the Aldona e.V. Association. Mayor Uwe Conradt ceremoniously handed over the check to the representatives of the association: Matthias Holzapfel, the first chairman, and Barbara Filipak, the professional management. The social workers Anastasija Eckhardt, Sabrina Burkhart, Lisa Klein and Antje Stolz as well as the administrative assistant Kornelia Dziedzic were also present.

Aldona e.V. was founded in Saarbrücken in 1990 and offers Saarland support for women who are affected by violence. The association has specialized in several relevant areas in recent decades. In 1997 the offer was expanded to include a advice center for migrants affected by violence. These developments are particularly important in order to be able to help women comprehensively in crisis situations.

support for women in emergency

Aldona e.V. is primarily aimed at various target groups. In particular, this includes victims of human trafficking, domestic violence in families with a migration background, as well as those affected by forced marriages and honorary violence. The association works in the interests of the clients and offers a variety of support services.

The crisis telephone for forced marriage, which has been operated since 2010, is particularly noteworthy, which offers those affected an important point of contact. Preparations for return to the home country and the accompaniment to court hearings complete the offer of help. Aldona e.V. attaches great importance to linguistic diversity: The advice center offers support in several languages, including German, English, French, Polish, Ukrainian, Spanish and Russian

financing and continuous work

The sum from the women's run is used to finance the association's own contribution, which is five percent per advice center annually. This financial support is of great importance for the continuous work of Aldona e.V. and enables affected women to provide comprehensive offers of help. The work of the association is therefore directly associated with the support of the community, which is made possible by events such as women's run.

The use of Aldona e.V. impressively shows how important such initiatives are to support women in difficult situations and to strengthen the rights of women.

summarized, the initiative not only illustrates the committed commitment for the assistance, but also the urgent need to continue to promote such institutions in Saarland and to give the women concerned a voice.
