Between 10-14th of July 2013 two co-workers of the REGINA Foundation made a visit to Basel.
The aim of our journey was to coordinate the remaining tasks and clarify the basic of a future cooperation.
In addition we recovered the visit which was cancelled in January to the victim support centre of Opferhilfe. Similar centres to this operate in every canton in Switzerland. The Opferhilfe started its work 20 years ago as a foundation, at this time its support activity was not that structured as nowadays, the financial resources were limited. Currently its funding is fully and long-term ensured.
The Opferhilfe’s main job is giving information about what victims can do, what rights they have, and in case of emergency they provide financial support as well.
The institution has 15 employees and is devided into 4 sections.
- Limit: for victims of violence against women
- Manner Plus: for victims of violence against men
- Triangle: for victims of violence against children
- BO: for victims of accidents, catastrophes

We have visited again the ALIENA whose colleague work in
the tolerance zone, and has many clients among Hungarian prostitutes. This time
we met with the head of the organisation, Vicky Eberhard. During our
conversation we brought into focus the topic of exiting prostitution, reviewed
the possibilities both in Hungary and Switzerland, the difficulties and the
often seemingly hopless situations.

After this we gathered together with the collegaue of fraenOase for a final meeting of the project. Our aim was to discuss the remaining tasks, including the evaulation of the materials what we have made, we evaulated the whole project, our 1-year cooperation. It was important for both parties to speak about the future. We agreed about the features of a new, common project, the next steps now are to elaborate this and fund raising.
