Frauennotruf barrier-free

The Frauennotruf Bielefeld e.V. is not barrier-free. In a lot of areas, there are competencies to remove barriers. Please let us know if there is an important issue we didn’t consider.

Impaired hearing:

We can easily borrow a mobile FM system for consulting and supporting hearing-impaired women. We will need some lead time for that. There are consultation rooms with appropriate sound as well.

For deaf women, we offer consultations with a sign language interpreter. We will need some lead time for that as well.

On our website, you can find ten clips with sign language subtitles about our consultation topics as well as written information that is easy to understand.

Visual impairment:

Our doorbell is equipped with Braille. We are happy to pick you up at the tram station, the car park or downstairs at the door.

Navigating our homepage is possible with the computer keyboard. The information can be read by screen readers. You can find explanatory text with each picture/clip. The font size and contrasts are freely selectable.

Walking impediment:

Unfortunately, our premises are not wheelchair-accessible (1st floor, no elevator, no disabled toilet). But there is an alternative nearby in the community hall of the Lydia-Gemeinde (Johanniskirchplatz 4, 33615 Bielefeld). Here you can find wheelchair-accessible rooms and sanitary facilities.

If your impairment allows you to climb stairs, we are happy to pick you up at the tram station, the car park or downstairs at the door.

In exceptional cases, consulting is also possible in other locations.
