Brief Description

The Family Reconciliation Centre was used as an integrated services centre to confront domestic violence in November 2009, providing a safe and effective environment for the physical, psychological and emotional repose of victims of domestic violence, including both women and their accompanying children, through a creative work programme enabling victims and their families to meet with a multi-specialty rehabilitation team. The Centre receives women and their children, with no age limits in the case of girls and up to the age of 5 in the case of boys. It provides family and psychological counselling for battered women and their abusive husbands, fathers or other male relatives. Victims are received and services provided in accordance with criteria that guarantee excellence and competence. All services needed by battered women are available under one roof: medical care, psychological, social and legal counselling, training and rehabilitation for beneficiaries and their families, as well as economic empowerment.
