Our Mission

Naisten Linja Suomessa ry (Women's Line in Finland) is an association registered in 1999, the purpose of which is to oppose attitudes and structures that perpetuate violence against women in society, to eliminate such violence at the social and individual level, and to help women and other participants in violence. In addition, the association strives to promote women's equality and rights in society.

Naisten Linja fulfills its purpose by supporting women and girls and their loved ones who have experienced and fear violence. The Women's Line helpline, chat service, online mail service, and peer support groups help anyone who defines themselves as a woman who wants to discuss a concern about violence. The contact person does not need to define herself in advance as an victim of violence, nor does she need to know about the different forms of violence. Mere worry is enough.

In addition to organizing services, Naisten Linja acts as a social influencer. The association makes statements, produces and disseminates information on violence against women, participates in public debate and cooperates with national and international actors in the field. Naisten Linja also provides support services for women who have experienced digital violence, organizes training on digital violence for various target groups, and carries out advocacy and research cooperation in the field of digital violence and online harrasment.

The main sponsor of Naisten Linja is the Finnish Funding Centre for Social Welfare and Health Organisations (STEA). In addition, Naisten Linja raises its own funds and organizes peer group activities supported by the City of Helsinki.

Naisten Linja is founded by those who have experienced violence. Peer support and the voice of the victim of violence remain at the heart of our work. The association exists because an early, low-threshold service package prevents and empowers women and girls who have experienced violence. Support for those experiencing violence as early as possible is vital, literally.
