Profemina Is for the Woman
Overview
Our Foundational Principles
Profemina is an international, independent, professionally qualified, non-profit counselling service for women facing unintended pregnancies. We facilitate self-determined and independent decisions by providing pregnant women with judgement-free resources, such as objective information, excellent and increasingly diverse life-coaching, as well as practical support.
Having counselled over 500,000 women, we have learned that external pressure from circumstances and people is the leading cause for abortion decisions.
We therefore hold it as our primary task to come alongside women experiencing unintended pregnancies with radical solidarity, offering support for THOSE WHO DESIRE an alternative to abortion - thus making a FREE decision possible.
We aim to encourage you NOT to be intimidated, pressured or coerced by external circumstances or people. We want to create an environment where you can act according to your values and convictions, courageously face adversity and grow with each life challenge.
Should you desire our encouragement and guidance in following your deepest longing, we would love to be there for you as you take the uncoerced freedom to choose life.

Of course, we are also available to relatives, especially the pregnant woman’s boyfriend or husband and parents. Relatives frequently approach us with questions before the pregnant woman does.
