Organisation of (specific) services
A. Imhoff-Köprülü
Profamilia chorweiler e.V., Cologne, Germany
The author reports about an advisory centre for pregnancy, conflict of
pregnancy, family planning, contraception, and interruption, called Profamilia
chorweiler e.V. (e.V. means: ‘registered society’), placed in a district of
Cologne, where more than half of the inhabitants are not German natives. She
will give you an idea about the multiprofessional team working there, how they
have been working, the variety of consultants coming, and why both the German
society and the politicians think that it is important to have such advisory
centres for women (and couples), when they are in a conflict of having a baby or
not.
In her report, she will also look back on the 52 years since the Profamilia
society was founded. She will tell you about the Profamilia ideology of
contraception and family planning, about its organisation, its legitimisation
and its financing.
In the appendix you will find (1) an extract of a law concerning Profamilia’s
work, and (2) a list of Profamilia’s offered services.
