We receive you, madam

The Centre accepts women who are the victims of any sort of violence in its location in Baghdad: Karada, Hay Al Wahda, Section 904, Str.8 opposite to St. Joseph's Cathedral. The Centre opens five days a week (Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) from 8.30 am to 1.30 pm. We would like to notify that the center's weekend is Friday and Sunday.

The woman visiting the centre will be admitted into the reception by one of the volunteers, then the secretary will fill in some forms with necessary personal information that makes communication easy and enables the staff to pursue the client.

Afterwards she will be directed to the psychological researcher to diagnose her case whether it is a psychological, a social or a legal ( law ) problem. In case of having a psychological problem, she will be attended to by the psychological researcher. If it is a social problem it will be treated by the social advisor. If the client is suffering from a psychological disease, she will be directed to the psychiatrist who fixes an appointment to see her after being provided with an official letter by the centre. If the case is legal, the lawyer will deal with it depending on an official letter from the centre. If the problem is concerned with divorce the expert in Church Law will investigate the case after getting an official letter from the centre.

The centre also includes a section for children who accompany their mothers. They are received and looked after by a trained volunteer so as to let the mother state her problem peacefully and without any interruption. This section is well- equipped with different kind of toys, dish, seats, tables and colored pencils so that the children may enjoy their time and practice their hobbies in drawing and coloring.
