Who we are<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We are an interculturally competent team of women from the areas of social work, psychology, political science and law. Currently we speak Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, Farsi, English and German.<\/p>\n

In the crisis organisation PAPATYA<\/strong> we have advised and assisted girls and young women with refugee and migration backgrounds, who need to flee from their families to a secret address. We have been able to assist over 2000 girls and young women.\u00a0 The young people are accompanied round the clock after their acceptance\/entry. The issues are often family violence, forced marriage which is threatened or already occurred, overly strict family controls, sexual violence and other similar matters. We support girls and young women in their life planning and in dealing with their families. During their time at PAPATYA we seek to develop perspectives for the future in close cooperation with the Youth Office (Jugendamt), Jobcenter and other institutions. This can be the return to the parents, to other relatives or accommodation in an assisted shared apartment for young people\/women\u2019s accommodation in or outside Berlin.<\/p>\n

Through our online advice service SIBEL since 2004 we have offered advice and help for girls and young women, LGBTI*Q and couples, who have problems with their families. The advice is anonymous, confidential and free and can be given in writing, by telephone or face to face. Written advice is possible in German, English and Turkish. Moreover, we advise professional and private helpers, who want to assist those affected. In particular we advise on the issues of forced marriage, family control, threats and violence and abduction\/kidnapping.<\/p>\n

Since 2013 we have advised and coordinated in cases of abduction abroad. We want to prevent girls and young women from being married against their will while abroad or being left abroad. Our preventive assistance is offered to all those who are afraid of being abducted. If girls and young women are already being held abroad against their will, we try to support them in their apparently hopeless position and to enable a return to Germany. Further, it is our aim to educate the public about abduction and to prevent girls and young women from disappearing from Germany and nobody notices.<\/p>\n

Cooperationen<\/h2>\n

PAPATYA works throughout Germany with institutions of youth assistance, women\u2019s refuges, socially and educationally assisted residence projects for minors and young women and crisis institutions as well as with the specialised crisis telephone service for girls, who are threatened or affected by forced marriage and violence in the name of honour. Further, we are represented in a range of committees, where we support the interests of our target group.<\/p>\n
