A forum for education, protection, and collaboration

The network meeting addresses prevention and support in everyday life: through exchange between initiatives, counseling centers, and committed actors. United Action e.V. has been working since 2023 with a peer-to-peer project to empower affected women, raise awareness of consequences, and better protect girls.
