Welcome to AinoAid™!

Here you will find information, support and important contact points on the topic of domestic violence/partner violence. With AinoAid™ you will not only find information material on various topics, but also a chatbot that can answer your initial questions on the subject. Our service is aimed at anyone who is affected by violence themselves or is experiencing violence in a relationship, as well as professionals working in the field of domestic violence.

IMPROVE + AinoAid™

AinoAid™ is one of the core contents of the EU-funded IMPROVE project, a collective effort to combat domestic violence. IMPROVE is creating tools to enhance the reporting and detection of domestic violence, empowering victims to access services and justice.

We're teaming up with Police Authorities, Civil Society Organizations, Academia and other partners to boost our skills and implement innovative solutions.

What's our role in this collaboration?

We're upgrading AinoAid™ to provide victims with speedy advice, risk assessments, and guidance to available services. Our goal is to ensure that those affected by domestic violence receive timely support and direction.

Partners involved in the project: We Encourage, S.I.G.N.A.L. e.V., University of Münster and German Police University, among 12 other EU partners.

Project duration: October 2022 – September 2025

I was Born a Girl by Minna Pietarinen/Sinako & AinoAid™

We have joined forces with Sinako Interaction Art ry. Minna Pietarinen's internationally known I was Born as a Girl exhibition aims to stimulate discussion about women's rights, empower through art and poetry, and encourage each of us to present the issue in our own way. You can find stickers from our joint campaign, at least in the capital region, if you would like stickers to distribute, don't hesitate to contact us!

Change requires multidisciplinary cooperation

We believe in collaboration between different organisations and people who are working together for greater value creation that no single organisation can create alone. Violence in close relationships and mental health issues are big enough problems to come together and work on both short-term resolution and longer-term root cause removal.

We appreciate that cross-organisational collaboration is never easy and that we are in front of a persisting challenge that nobody has succeeded in solving. We believe that by joining forces with different parties, we can bring about change.

What others say of AinoAid™?

Enlightening, even though you know things aren't right. Sometimes you just think that the fault is in yourself.

Thank you. I needed support and it feels good that help is available if needed. <3

Many thanks for clarifying that situations I used to find "normal behaviour" are actually types of violence! This was definitely an eye opener to realise I am being psychologically abused.
