The service will still seek to support members of the public in need of assistance due to domestic violence. Support for such cases can be found at Violence.lu.
In an exceptional situation like this, the number of cases is likely to increase, explained the president of Family Planning, Ainhoa Achutegui, in an interview with RTL.
Family Planning was founded over 50 years ago on the theme “happy family”. From 1979, it championed sex education.
Last year, Family Planning again modified its statutes to adapt to current events and devote itself to the fight against domestic violence and gender equality.
Achutegui provided some details on the functioning of the services and centres in the current turbulent times.
Family Planning is a medical service, so it will not be closed. The services have been adapted to the situation and will continue its important activities.
Appointments can be conducted over Skype, while psychological services will be offered online or over the phone.
