Every third woman in Germany experiences partner violence at least once in her lifetime. We often sense it. Intervening is not easy – but looking away is not an option. Partner violence is not a private matter.

What is StoP? In brief:
StoP – "Stadtteile ohne Partnergewalt" (Neighbourhoods Free from Partner Violence) – supports people in the neighbourhood who want to show civil courage and stand in solidarity with women affected by partner violence. StoP has been active in various districts across several German cities since 2010. Partner violence/domestic violence occurs every day – across all levels of society. Women are disproportionately affected. Partner violence destroys the health and lives of everyone involved. The problem is that we talk about it too rarely – whether out of shame, fear, or uncertainty. Or because we believe it is a private matter.
But violence is not a private matter; it is a violation of human rights.

We use the terms women/girls without * and include all people who identify as women or are read as female. We understand partner violence to mean violence by people read as male, perpetrated by current or former relationship partners. It is most commonly carried out in the domestic sphere, often systematically over a prolonged period of time.
