Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Salzburg state government approved 7.64 million Euro to expand women's shelters across the province of Salzburg, Austria.
This funding supports three organizations: Frauenhaus Pinzgau, ARGE Schutzunterkünfte, and Laube GmbH. The expansion will create up to 57 new places for women and children fleeing violence. The project focuses on providing more support for children whose mothers have experienced violence. These services include psychosocial counseling, educational activities, and support during the school process.
One of the participating organizations, ARGE Schutzunterkünfte, will increase its specific capacity from 33 to 39 places. The initiative also changes who can access these services. In addition to local residents, women from other federal states, asylum seekers, and those with subsidiary protection status can now seek help at the Salzburg shelters. The state government will provide the necessary funds over the next four years.
