The Non-profit organisation of Tallinn Crisis Centre for Women helps women who fall victims of violence in the close relationships, in case of need – together with their children.
We can offer:
- the safe shelter where to spend the night in case of danger of violence or after the impact of violence
- psychological aid in crisis and the following advice after leaving the asylum, in case of need – up to three months
- psychological aid in crisis for those women and their children who suffer from violence in the relations of partnership, but who are not in need of the temporary shelter
- aid in contacts with the official institutions (the Social and Healthcare board, the Police, the Office of public prosecutor, etc.), in case of need – legal advice in making statements and applications
- information about the judicial problems and opportunities for solving them (children’s allowance, divorce, contacts with the court, division of property)
-
Members and employees of the Crisis Centre
The staff of the Crisis Centre have united people of different background and training, whose mutual target is to offer the professional aid at the good practical level to the women who fall victims of violence in their close relationships.
The following persons belong to our team:
Inga Mikiver, member of the board, lawyer, managing director of the Crisis Centre
Ülle Kalvik, member of the board, psychologist
Kairit Leibold - legal adviser
Kaidi Lees – social officer
Tiina Huntsaar, member of the board
Katrin Illak, member of the board
The event was preceded by a long preparatory work – we had been looking for the suitable rooms already since the year 2003, while negotiating with Tallinn city district administrations. Unfortunately, without result.
In the beginning of the year 2005, in one of the housing assosiations, we managed to find a semi-basement, which badly needed to be repaired. We repaired it ourselves. Initially, we got a possibility of providing a shelter for the night for 8 persons.
Within a very short period it was clear that the available space do not cover the neccessities of those women who fall victims of violence in their close relationships.
In May 2006 we found new rooms in the centre of the city, and, again, we repaired the premises ourselves. After finishing the new rooms the Crisis Centre got 12 additional beds.
The Non-profit organisation of Tallinn Crisis Centre for Women opened the doors of the new premises on September 4th, the year 2006. We are the single asylum in Estonia that is able to provide the professional judicial and psychological advice to victims of violence in family relations. Women who do not need a shelter for the night can seek for advice only.
Since 2007, we are getting support from Tallinn City Government.
