About us<\/h2>
VIOLENCE QUE FAIRE is a non-profit organisation in French-speaking Switzerland. We are committed to helping anyone in Switzerland dealing with domestic abuse, whether they are: victims, perpetrators, friends, family, professionals, or witnesses, and of any age or sexual orientation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our website <\/span>www.violencequefaire.ch<\/span> provides a wealth of information designed to help, guide and encourage anyone affected by domestic abuse with the goal of breaking the silence. The information we provide is also useful to all professional services and professionals who come into contact with victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our website offers a professional, anonymous, personalised and free online counselling service with a response time of three working days.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our service is provided by experts from partner institutions that include: Solidarit\u00e9 Femmes Bienne (BE); Solidarit\u00e9 Femmes – Centre LAVI FR (FR); EX-pression (FR); Point du Jour (VS); Centre d’accueil MalleyPrairie (VD); Centre Pr\u00e9vention de l’Ale (VD); Centre LAVI VD (VD); Service d’aide aux victimes – Centre LAVI et Solidarit\u00e9 Femmes (NE); and Fondation l’EssentiElles (VS). <\/span>We have also hired a specialist to strengthen the team.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

History<\/h2>
In 2006, three Vaud-based institutions active in the field of domestic violence – the Malley-Prairie Women’s Shelter (CMP), the Vaud Office for Gender Equality (BEFH) and the ViFa Service – joined forces to set up the Vivre sans Violence Association (Living without Violence Association), which ran two websites: violencequefaire for adults and comeva for teenagers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2016, to simplify its communications, the Association Vivre sans Violence was renamed VIOLENCE QUE FAIRE and the two websites were merged into one.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    Our activities<\/h2><\/div>
    <\/div><\/div><\/div>
    Online information <\/span><\/div>

    Online information is available on the www.violencequefaire.ch website for anyone affected by domestic abuse. Our aim is to raise awareness and encourage people to get in touch with specialist institutions in French-speaking Switzerland. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Online advice <\/span><\/div>

    Advice and guidance is available to victims, perpetrators and their friends and family. Questions relating to domestic abuse can be asked anonymously and a personalised response is provided in a short space of time. With the user's consent, both the question and the answer can be published anonymously for others to read. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Prevention<\/span><\/div>

    Promoting our services and raising awareness of the problem of domestic abuse in the general public, in organisations working in the field and in political bodies<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Working in a network <\/span><\/div>

    Promoting dialogue and cooperation between organisations in the French-speaking cantons of Switzerland. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    Our values<\/h2><\/div>
    <\/div><\/div><\/div>
    Respect, equality and integrity in relationships <\/span><\/div>

    Whether at the psychological, physical, sexual or economic levels. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Encouraging responsible behaviour <\/span><\/div>

    This is in line with the Swiss legal framework and for those affected by domestic abuse, particularly in relation to children exposed to violence. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    An integrated approach <\/span><\/div>

    We recognise the importance of an integrated approach. Domestic abuse and its repercussions cannot be dealt with by just one organisation. The victim and the perpetrator are both involved in the situation and often there are children to take into account. There are also many different needs such as protection, health, accommodation, psychological support, and financial support, to take into account. An integrated approach means the various bodies active in this field can work together and consider collaborative inter-institutional initiatives and courses of action for all those involved - victims, perpetrators, family and friends, and witnesses of domestic abuse. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Independence and neutrality <\/span><\/div>

    VIOLENCE QUE FAIRE is a not-for-profit organisation that is politically and religiously neutral. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Professionalism <\/span><\/div>

    Questions from internet users are answered by our specialists in the field of domestic abuse. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Guaranteed anonymity <\/span><\/div>

    For anyone using our online counselling service we guarantee anonymity. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
