Profemina Is for Women
Our Foundational Principles
Profemina is an international, independent, professionally qualified, non-profit counseling service for women facing challenges in their pregnancies. We facilitate self-determined and independent decisions by providing pregnant women with judgment-free resources, such as objective information, excellent and increasingly diverse life coaching, as well as practical support.
Having counseled over 500,000 women, we have learned that external pressure from circumstances and people is the primary reason women are conflicted about their pregnancies. This is the leading cause of abortion decisions.
We, therefore, hold it as our primary task to come alongside women in need, 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.
