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.
Bayer 04 also cooperates closely with the Leverkusen Women's Helpline beyond the sustainability matchday: Together with the club, Fan Liaison team and Fanprojekt Leverkusen e.V., the works club introduced the ‘Luisa is here’ support programme in February 2023, which is primarily aimed at people affected by sexual harassment in the stadium on matchdays, but also serves as a point of contact for other forms of violence and discrimination.

Four Bayer 04 players are in action at the 35th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations being played in Morocco from 21 December to 18 January 2026: Eliesse Ben Seghir for the hosts, Edmond Tapsoba with Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Maza for Algeria and Christian Kofane with Cameroon.

Despite a courageous display, the Bayer 04 Women missed out on a surprise at the start of the second half of the Bundesliga season. Coach Roberto Pätzold's team lost 3-0 to league leaders Bayern Munich on Monday night. An early goal from the clinical visitors, a disputed penalty and another spot-kick prevented Leverkusen, who are seventh in the table on 22 points from 14 games, from picking up a point in front of 3,011 spectators at the sold-out Ulrich Haberland Stadium.
