Reflections on the Reproduction and Transformation of Gender Differences Among Women in the Shelter Movement in GermanyUniversity of Applied Sciences, Frankfurt/Main, Germany The origins of autonomous women's support projects in Germany lie in feminist challenges to notions of women's inferiority and the desire to protest male violence and abuse.
