You might know someone, a family member or a friend who has lost someone special in there life's because of domestic violence. We have women who have lost their children to the system, lost custody rights or visitation rights due to a kind of domestic abuse.
Many times, the women find themselves with multiple needs and highly complex situations, which may require knowledge and access to the legal systems. Some women try to take refuge at the women shelters homes, only to return to their abusive partners as their immigration status might end with deportation once they leave their partners.
We know this is a very complex topic and situation, whereby many women tend to keep silence for fear of being judged or prejudiced til when it is too late. Do not wait until the last minute.

The European Women’s Lobby was created in response to a growing awareness of the need to defend women’s interests at European level since :
The scope of the European Union’s activities are continuosly extending and affect areas with a direct impact on women’s daily lives, particularly since the establishment of the internal market.
It became urgent for women and their organisations to participate in the programmes established by the Union and to get acquainted with European legislation affecting them.
The creation of such an organisation and its designation of lobbying also corresponds to the particular character of European-level decision-making process, which allows space for the creation of many organisations, founded to represent a wide range of interests and categories of women within civil society (including various economic sectors as well as trade unions, professional and social groupings).
These organisations were responding to a real need on the part of the European institutions. Contrary to received ideas, the number of European officials is rather low compared to national institutions . The institutions therefore often call on experts in the course of their work, due in particular to the need for taking into account the diversity of the Member States’ populations and legislations.
As decision-makers within the European institutions are not directly elected by the citizens (with the exception of the European Parliament) the creation of an organisation such as the EWL also corresponds to the need to bridge the democratic gap between the EU institutions and European citizens.
The creation of EWL was therefore linked to the creation of a new form of public space at European level and a new form of interaction between citizens and political officials. The EWL’s activities meet two types of needs :
To lobby at European level and to provide information to decision-makers to ensure that women’s rights and needs as well as a gender perspective , are taken into account in the preparation of policies and legislation .
Promote their participation of women’s organisations at EU level and provide them with the information they need to do so.
The EWL thus plays a dual role as a link between women’s organisations and institutions. The EWL facilitates dialogue and exchanges between citizens and European decision-makers. Because of its advisory status in both the United Nations Economic and Social Council and the Council of Europe, the EWL plays an instrumental role at the international level.

Forum for Adoption Politics is an organization for everyone who questions the system of transnational adoption as it is being practiced in Denmark today. The mission of the organization is, among other things, to position adoptees as experts on their own lived experiences believing that adoptee voices should, as a minimum, become an equal part in the formulation of adoption-related policies. We wish to foster debate which in the long run will lead to radical reform of the system of transnational adoption.

ADEFRA e. V. - Schwarze Frauen in Deutschland ist ein kulturpolitisches Forum von und f?r Schwarze Frauen
Der Aktivismus von Schwarzen Frauen in Deutschland ist zentral f?r die Existenz und die Formierung der Schwarzen Bewegung in Deutschland. Dies ist im Kontext von Bewegungstheorien von Relevanz, da die Rolle von Akteurinnen in sozialen Bewegungen (im Nachhinein) oftmals marginalisiert wird. Im deutschen Fall gelten Schwarze lesbische Aktivistinnen der 1980er Jahre nicht nur als Motor f?r die Formulierung eines Schwarzen feministischen Standpunktes in Deutschland, sondern auch als Impuls- und Strukturgeberinnen f?r die Entstehung einer organisierten Schwarzen Gemeinschaft. Die Wissensproduktion ?ber ?Schwarzsein in Deutschland? ist nachhaltig gepr?gt von den Visionen, Begegnungen, dem Austausch und den kritischen Reflexionen Schwarzer Aktivistinnen.
Die Generation Adefra beginnt in der Mitte der 1980er Jahre. Eine Gruppe Schwarzer Aktivistinnen wird durch die Arbeiten und Aufenthalte der karibisch-amerikanischen feministischen Theoretikerin, Lyrikerin und Aktivistin Audre Lorde (1934-1992) in Berlin zusammengebracht und zur Gr?ndung der Initiative Adefra ? Schwarze Frauen in Deutschland inspiriert.
Zu diesem Zusammenschluss der Anfangsaktivistinnen geh?rt die Historikerin Katharina Oguntoye. Sie weist als Gr?ndungsfrau der Initiative Adefra bereits zu den Anfangszeiten der Formation auf die Komplexit?t der Aufgabe, bisher relativ isolierte Schwarze weibliche Subjekte in Deutschland mit ihren zum Teil sehr unterschiedlich entwickelten Lebensinteressen nicht nur zusammenzubringen, sondern auch auf Dauer zusammenzuhalten.
