The counselling centre, which has been in existence since 1986, is aimed at girls and women who have experienced sexual assault of any kind, as well as their relatives, partners, friends and professionals in the psychosocial and educational fields. The Women's Helpline's services are free of charge and can also be used anonymously. At Leverkusen's home game against Eintracht, the emergency helpline was represented with its own information stand in the stadium concourse.
With the donation, which was rounded up to a total of €2,500, the works club is joining the joint campaign of clubs in the 3. Liga and Women's Bundesliga for social engagement, responsible corporate governance and the protection of the planet.
