Projekt ‘StoP’: New Office in the Heart of Vienna

Have you ever wanted to help but did not know how? The ‘StoP’ project in Vienna is designed for exactly that — enabling everyone to contribute to the fight against domestic violence. A new office in the Schlachthof district marks an important expansion of its work.

‘StoP’ stands for “Stadtteile ohne Partnergewalt” — neighborhoods without partner violence. Its core idea: violence is not a private matter but a societal problem. The new office expands the capacity to help those in need.

What Is StoP?

The project focuses on making domestic violence socially unacceptable and building support networks. Rather than focusing only on victims, StoP works with all community members — neighbors, friends, and colleagues — through information campaigns, training, seminars, and platforms for sharing knowledge.

Why Schlachthof?

The choice is strategic. This Vienna district has high population density and cultural diversity, making it a key hub for reaching different communities. Many social institutions are already located there, enabling effective collaboration.

Services Offered

StoP provides individual counseling for victims and those who want to help friends or family, training programs on violence awareness and prevention, public information campaigns in media and social networks, and social work support for finding housing, jobs, and recovery resources.

How You Can Help

Be attentive to loved ones showing signs of relationship violence. Share information about StoP on social media. Attend training and seminars. Support StoP financially through donations.

The new office is a vital step in fighting domestic violence in Vienna. Remember: violence is not a private matter, and everyone can contribute to the solution.
