Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• TERRE DES FEMMES e.V. Germany-wide human rights organization focused on women and girls, including a strong domestic violence advocacy agenda. Comparable as a larger, donor-funded nonprofit operating in overlapping GBV/domestic violence and policy advocacy territory.
• Frauenhauskoordinierung e.V. German nationwide coordination body for autonomous women's shelters; comparable because it sits directly above Frauenhaus operators like FhF Stuttgart in the same autonomous-shelter, feminist, non-clinical service category and helps set policy and funding frameworks that FhF relies on.
• Hilfetelefon Gewalt gegen Frauen (Bundesamt für Familie und zivilgesellschaftliche Aufgaben): Federal 24/7 helpline for women affected by violence, operated by the German federal government; comparable as a national-level access channel that overlaps with FhF Stuttgart's hotline and counseling services.
• bff: Bundesverband Frauenberatungsstellen und Frauennotrufe: National umbrella association of women's counseling centers and rape crisis hotlines in Germany; comparable as a peer network covering the BIF/FIS-style counseling and crisis-intervention services that FhF Stuttgart provides, and shaping the same federal violence-protection policy.

Direct peers

• Sozialberatung Stuttgart e.V. Stuttgart-based social services nonprofit that co-develops and co-delivers the couplegoals0711 prevention program with FhF Stuttgart; comparable as a close operating partner in the same city and overlapping mission of family/social support.
• Autonomes Frauenhaus Heidelberg: Other autonomous women's shelter in Baden-Württemberg delivering the same shelter-plus-counseling model as FhF Stuttgart; FhF Stuttgart has publicly expressed solidarity with striking staff there, indicating direct peer status in service model and labor dynamics.
• Frauen helfen Frauen München e.V. Same-named ("Women Help Women") autonomous shelter and counseling association in Munich; directly comparable because it offers an essentially identical service portfolio (shelter, counseling, prevention) under the same autonomous feminist model in another major German city.

Others

• Aktion Mensch e.V. Large German social lottery/funding organization that has funded FhF Stuttgart's website and broader projects; comparable as a major funder/supporter of inclusion and social-services projects in the same funding ecosystem.

Regional players

• WEISSER RING e.V. Germany-wide victim support organization assisting crime victims including domestic violence survivors, with local chapters nationwide; comparable as a complementary (not head-to-head) support provider serving overlapping client populations.
• Caritas Stuttgart: Large Stuttgart-area Catholic social services network providing overlapping family and social support; comparable as a regional generalist social-services operator that competes for some of the same referral and government funding streams.
