The Frauenzentrum Schokofabrik sees itself as an open place for women, lesbians, inter*, non-binary*, trans* and agender individuals with a range of different offerings. The association "Frauenzentrum Schokoladenfabrik e.V." includes the areas: counseling, events, self-help assistance, Hamam, SchokoSport, meeting point - education and counseling for refugee, migrant, and Black women, girls, trans*, inter* and non-binary adults and youth. The team of the association currently consists mostly of white cis-dyadic employees, interns, and volunteers. We have different qualifications in the fields of: education, social work, psychology & therapy, law, crafts, health & sports, social sciences, cultural management, administration & economics. The Schokofabrik has its origins in the struggles of the women's movement of the 1980s and has since been in a constant process of confrontation and development. We advocate for the rights, social justice, and access to societal participation for all women, girls, inter*, trans* and non-binary people who are patriarchally discriminated against due to their gender identity and are particularly affected by sexism, racism, violence, and poverty. The Frauenzentrum Schokofabrik works
- intersectionally, by aligning our work with the different life realities and resources of our visitors, considering privileges, and actively trying to counteract exclusions,- in solidarity,- power- and discrimination-critical,- non-pathologizing and empathetic in counseling.We are aware that our own structures are not free from power relations and discrimination, which is why we are in an ongoing process of reflection.
