StoP – Stadtteile ohne Partnergewalt e.V. is committed to the prevention of domestic violence through neighborhood networks and awareness-raising. The project promotes civil courage and supports those affected to create safe, violence-free communities.
StoP – Stadtteile ohne Partnergewalt – is an innovative initiative dedicated to preventing domestic violence by activating and raising awareness in neighborhoods. The project, initiated in 2007 by Prof. Dr. Sabine Stövesand, focuses on where domestic violence occurs most frequently: at home and in the neighborhood.
The main mission of StoP is to create an environment that sensitizes residents to partner violence and its consequences, encouraging them not to look away but to confront domestic violence openly. The focus is on strengthening civil courage and involving the neighborhood in violence prevention. StoP emphasizes that violence reflects less on the quality of a relationship than on the quality of a community[4].
StoP – Stadtteile ohne Partnergewalt – is a comprehensive community project that proactively combats domestic violence through the mobilization of neighborhoods and the strengthening of civil courage. With its focus on awareness raising, neighborhood support, and the inclusion of all societal groups, StoP works to create safer and violence-free communities.
