"TERRE DES FEMMES has been able to help a lot of women till this day. And we all must assist. We have to liberate concerned women from their cobweb." It was with these words that the actress Sibel Kekilli welcomed the launching of the TERRE DES FEMMES-foundation on 16 October 2004. Numerous VIPs listened to her committed speech at the inauguration ceremony, among whom were: the Minister of Social Affairs of the federal state Baden-Württemberg, Tanja Gönner, the National Permanent Secretary Ute Vogt, the member of parliament and former Minister of Justice Prof. Dr. Herta Däubler-Gmelin, and the best selling author Peter Prange.

The TERRE DES FEMMES-foundation has a basis of nine donors and 135,000 EUR. The interest-earnings will contribute to the financing of our work. Together with the earnings from donations and membership fees, they constitute an important pillar to ensure our work in the long term.
