It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help. WAVE can help by providing referrals to relevant services in your country.
We collect and maintain a list national women’s helplines available in the 46 European Countries. Click here to find the contacts of these national women’s helplines.
If you are looking for more specific and regional contacts, you can find them in our database below. Here, you can search directly among around 1,440 contacts of women’s specialist services to find support close to you.
As violence does not stop at borders, we also respond to cross-border support requests from survivors, counsellors of women’s specialist services or other individuals involved, such as friends and family, through the WAVE Information Centre. We refer them to appropriate services in the relevant countries and provide support whenever possible.
Please be aware that the location displayed in the map may not necessarily correspond to the actual location of the support service. To get more detailled information, you can reach out to the respective organisation directly.
