We are a Polish women-led, rights-based non-government organisation founded in 2005. We are the only specialised service provider focused on sexual violence in Poland. We provide high quality services for women who have experienced men's violence, especially sexual violence. We work to contribute towards ending violence against women. We educate, we organize actions, we write petitions, we change the law and society. Our work is directly informed by survivors' experiences and what they tell us they need, and is grounded in feminist, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, women- and survivor-centred principles and practices. We stand on the side of women. OUR MISSION Our mission is a world where women live safe and independent lives, free from violence, inequality, and oppression. Our vision is to contribute to ending the harm inflicted on women who have experienced sexual violence or other forms of violence. Our work is grounded in feminist principles and practices, centred on the needs of women who have experienced violence. We believe that violence against women is both a cause and a consequence of inequality and discrimination against women, and ending it requires a multifaceted approach. From working directly with women who have experienced violence to immediately save their lives and support their long-term recovery, to influencing social attitudes and policies to achieve lasting change. Our work is holistic and empowering, collaborating with survivors to support their healing and recovery, as well as their independent living and development. We support all women, regardless of their nationality, gender assigned at birth or social/economic status. As a primary specialized GBV service provider, and one specialised in sexual violence, in Poland, we are in the unique position with our response and empowerment services and support to be able to respond the urgent needs of some of the most vulnerable refugee survivors of violence and those at risk. Since the escalation of war in Ukraine in early 2022, Feminoteka has mobilized and stepped up as a primary, GBV service provider specialized in sexual violence, to adapt our services and support to ensure they are continuously relevant, accessible, and appropriate for Ukrainian refugee survivors, especially the most vulnerable, and those at risk. We know from work each day, that the need for specialized GBV care and support remains high, alongside wider programs aimed at refugee women's wellbeing, recovery and independence. Since starting our Ukrainian refugee response and dedicated Ukraine response helpline, we have since expanded it to a refugee and migrant helpline, ensuring we are also reaching vulnerable refugees and migrants in Poland from other contexts. OUR SERVICES We offer free, holistic, multilingual services delivered by women, including psychological, therapeutic, social and legal support, to address complex needs, providing safe spaces and shelter, supporting women to heal, recover and take control of their lives and futures after violence. We also promote women's empowerment and wellbeing, through anti-violence workshops, Wen-Do self-defence and violence prevention training, and other wellbeing activities. All our services have been made accessible to Ukrainian refugee survivors. Hotline (nationwide): Our hotline (providing services in Polish, English, Ukrainian and Russian) provides confidential, independent, non-judgemental and non-directive support to women who have experienced men's violence, including sexual violence. The hotline is staffed by women who are trained experts in the field of violence against women and survivor-centred support. We have an additional hotline in Ukrainian and Russian languages. Rape Crisis Centre: In May 2023, we are opening the first Rape Crisis Centre in Poland that will meet the emergency, ongoing and long-term needs of survivors in a holistic, well-rounded and coordinated way, from the moment they need us until they no longer need us. Services include, individual and group therapeutical care; post-rape medical examination and treatment; forensics collection and storage; client support (i.e. accessing safe housing, social benefits) and accompaniment (i.e. court and hospitals visits); outreach, education and training for key professionals. It will be run by an experienced all female team, offering friendly, welcoming, non-judgmental, respectful care. Safe Shelter: We run a 12-bed shelter in Warsaw for survivors (inc. those with children), where residents receive comprehensive, tailored support and access to our full range of services and specialists. Expert Trainings: We offer expert trainings on gender based violence and providing support to violence survivors tailored to the needs of groups enquiring about them - medical staff, judges and prosecutors, Police officers, social services staff, companies or businesses. ADVOCACY AND SOCIETAL CHANGE An integral part of our work to heal the trauma of sexual violence and contributing to preventing and ending violence, we conduct advocacy, research and education to inform and influence laws and public awareness aimed at societal and structural change, and the promotion of women's human rights and their freedom from men's violence. We conduct campaigns aimed at raising public awareness, shifting harmful attitudes and beliefs around survivors and men's violence, about the harm of sexual violence, and promote strategies to prevent it and end it.

Crossing Borders (CB) is a non-profit, non-partisan civil society organisation. The vision of CB is a world in peace with itself in which diversity is celebrated. The mission is to create dialogue space toward such a world and to build the capacity of youth, media workers and educators to realise the above vision.

Crossing Borders started as a project in 1999 in Denmark in support of meaningful dialogue between the conflict parties in the Middle East.

The Kreisau-Initiative e.V. was founded 1989 to address the need for international understanding, democratic education, and active engagement in human rights, particularly in response to Europe's history of division, conflict, and authoritarianism. The Kreisau-Initiative is committed to promoting democracy, human rights, social inclusion, and sustainability through international educational programs and cross-cultural dialogue. Rooted in the legacy of the Kreisau Circle, a German resistance group against Nazism, its mission is to empower individuals - especially young people - to actively shape just, inclusive, and democratic societies. At its core, the Kreisau-Initiative responds to persistent social challenges such as discrimination, social exclusion, extremism, and a lack of opportunities for youth participation in shaping democratic, inclusive societies. Recognizing that many young people - especially those from marginalized backgrounds - face barriers to education, empowerment, and cross-cultural exchange, the organization promotes non-formal education as a tool for social change. Today, the need for fostering social cohesion, gender equality, human rights awareness, and sustainability remains as urgent as ever. The Kreisau-Initiative continues to address these challenges by creating spaces for learning, dialogue, and action, empowering individuals to become active, responsible members of a democratic and diverse Europe. The organization's priority objectives are: - To foster social cohesion by addressing discrimination, exclusion, and extremism. - To promote human rights education and critical engagement with history to strengthen democratic values. - To advance gender equality and support marginalized groups through empowerment and participation. - To encourage socio-ecological transformation, raising awareness of sustainable development and climate justice. - To provide spaces for intercultural exchange, enabling young people to develop skills in dialogue, cooperation, and civic responsibility. Through non-formal education, transnational partnerships, and youth-centered approaches, the Kreisau-Initiative equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to drive positive social change across Europe and beyond.

Seva Mandir's mission is to make real the idea of society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together and solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts. The commitment is to work for a paradigm of development and governance that is democratic and polyarchic. Seva Mandir seeks to institutionalise the idea that development and governance is not only to be left to the State and its formal bodies like the legislature and the bureaucracy, but that citizens and their associations should engage separately and jointly with the State. The mission briefly, is to construct the conditions in which citizens of plural backgrounds and perspectives can come together and deliberate on how they can work to benefit and empower the least advantaged in society.
