A glimpse of what transpired when our Break Isolation Group convened in Groß Köris for the weekend. “We all met there, at least 9 different nationalities represented, we had fun…danced, listened to music, celebrated culture, enjoyed tasty food, tried our hand(s) at boxing, went for a swimming and much, much more!"

We have hit a rough patch and are turning to you, our community, for support. Any donation, no matter how small, one-off or regular, is greatly appreciated and goes a long way in supporting us and our work and, in turn, the women* we work with as well.

Our Break Isolation Group (BIG) received the 2023 "Initiative Award" for honorary engagement (ehrenamtliches engagement) at the gala-night organized by Jugendliche ohne Grenzen (JoG).

We are humans, born warriors and winners, we are many things before we are refugees! This, is our power!
We shall be silent no more! For our revolution is here!
So I will say it one last time, this is your wake up call!
It is either all of us are free, or none at all!
