An important principle during counselling is that nothing will be done without the full agreement of the woman being counselled. The counselors are experts with various certifications or degrees in therapy as well as additional qualifications for dealing with trauma. They offer information, advice and assistance in crises as well as support for and/or during clarification and coping processes. Topics for counselling could include sexual harassment and discrimination at the workplace or during studies, as well as sexual assault or stalking.
