You Are Not Alone ✳︎
A space created with one intention: to help you find support, connection and hope across Europe.
We’re building a network of organisations across Europe doing incredible work in mental health, domestic violence, community support and other areas where a little more hope can make a difference.
If today feels heavy, please remember that even in the darkest moments, there is always a way forward.

One in three women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. It can happen to anyone.
Domestic violence takes many forms, and is not always physical.
Perpetrators of domestic violence often appear to be pleasant and respectful people.

FRANCEOriginally, the Women's House of Saint-Denis
The Restart Women's Houses provide a structured, multidisciplinary and comprehensive response to gender-based and sexual violence.
Initially, Ghada Hatem-Gantzer a gynecologist and obstetrician who heads the maternity ward at Delafontaine Hospital, observed that the violence suffered by her patients negatively impacted their health. Yet, this topic was never addressed in medical training, and nothing was done to encourage patients to raise this issue.
She then conceived the idea of a place that would fill this gap: a one-stop shop where women could find all the help they needed.
This is how the very first Women's Center was born in 2016. Affiliated with the Saint-Denis Hospital Center, it offers comprehensive medical and social support for women in difficulty or victims of violence.
Bikers For Humanity started in the fall of 2015. Habitat for Humanity invited various public figures to join its volunteer teams in the
Big Build project in Bacău. Among them was radio and television personality Cristian Hrubaru, also known for his passion for motorcycles, being very active in the Romanian motorcycle community (meeting presenter, often seen at charity events initiated by Romanian motorcyclists).
Our goal
Our mind has incredible power and can work miracles, and supported by a giving heart, the universe can take on a different form. Obviously the universe of those around us who were not lucky enough to have what each of us has now and from which we can give further.

JOIN LOVE ONLY: FIGHT ONLINE VIOLENCE WITH KINDNESS AND COMMUNITY
Violent online attacks against people speaking up for a fairer and equal world are growing.
This is why we created Love Only, a campaign that is responding to the growing number of violent and organised online attacks targeting activists, journalists and others who speak up. These attacks can involve coordinated waves of hate from bots, fake accounts and real people, creating the appearance of an overwhelming crowd. They are often designed to distort reality, intimidate, humiliate and eventually silence someone, and in the most extreme cases, the attacks can have tragic consequences.
Seven in ten women journalists, activists and human-rights defenders surveyed across 119 countries had experienced online violence. For 41 per cent, it spilled into real life, where they faced further harassment or physical attacks.When someone speaking up for a fairer, more equal world is targeted, we want them to see that there are people who care about them, and that the distorted reality created by an online attack is not the whole picture. Sometimes you don’t have to defend yourself alone; your community can stand up for you.
We are building a community of Kindness Ninjas and Kindness Fairies who will be ready to support people with messages of kindness when they are attacked. Join us.
How does it work? When our team detects an organized attack, we will send you a message on email or in a Whatsapp group leading to a post where you can show support for them. JOIN US AND BECOME A KINDNESS NINJA OR KINDNESS FAIRY.

Reasons to Stay is a global suicide prevention project reaching people at difficult moments through anonymous letters written by volunteers from all over the world.
Each letter on this site was written by a real person and delivered to you at random when you visited this page.
This space exists as a reminder that we are not alone, even when it feels that way. There is someone, somewhere who wrote you a letter because they care.
If you’d like to, you can write your own letter to a stranger, offering warmth, hope and connection to someone when they need it most.
This project was designed in memory of Sam West, who took his own life in 2018.
If you’re struggling right now, reaching out to a support service or someone you trust could really help.
