Our Instagram account has been online since________ and it provides information on the topics of our online counselling. On that site we provide information about our counselling services, how to contact us and many other infos on the topics of family controls, forced marriage, violence and abduction.

We worked on our new website for a long time and finally we are able to present it to you. In the future all our areas of work can be found at http://www.papatya.org. You will find here infos on our crisis centre, our counselling services and all our other projects.

On 29.04.2019 PAPATYA started the prevention campaign #Gethelp against forced marriage and abduction. The short film #Gethelp encourages everyone, who is threatened with forced marriage and abduction, to get help in time.

We thank the director Gabriel B Arranhio, the actors, the team from CZAR, the football players from Türkiyemspor Berlin e.V. and the HEROES Berlin for their assistance.

With a joyful mix of pop, soul and jazz the choir offered not only an enjoyable evening for the 150 guests but also “sang” a donation of €1300 in support of the Papatya crisis centre’s work – a double joy! The donation enables the purchase of the essentials that girls and young women need, if they run away from home without anything. In addition, one or another leisure activity can be financed.

And sometimes a young woman needs a return ticket, to get back to Germany, after the alleged “holiday trip” with her parents turns out to be a planned forced marriage,´. In the foyer the employees of Papatya showed the premiere of their short film on the topic of forced marriage and abduction that had just been completed.
