I´m Kirsten Schaper of Rut advice and action
an open initiative of lesbian woman.Our Working domain are older lesbians and
woman with and without handicaps.
We´re planning a
housing project for 50 women loving women
There will be a caring comunity integrated
with 8 places for woman sufering dementia
or women who need heavy care
as well there will be
a socio-cultural center integrated
which Rat und Tat will run. it will cover
all needs women need concerning health and care
So there will be workshops,
courses
cultural events and recreational offerings.
The women will self manage their living,
meaning there will be regular house plena,
there will be mediators, there will be
community actions who will for example take care
about the garden planning
maybe there will be a small neighbourhood cafe
which they will run
where they can serve lunch
for the residents
So they can mange their live in small units
themselves
and give it a direction and
support themselves which is very important
and can give them strenght and
community spirit.
The house will be barrier-free
ecological asspects
are concerned
that the
running costs for the living will be
constantly low
so we will not have any
explosion of costs
Very important is that the house will be part of the visiting service
of Rut, which is running since 2005
there volunteers women
are visiting
lesbian women
and support them in small areas of their living
meaning they go to the doctor or
go shopping together or
chat with each other, cook, simply do
what the person is in need at the moment
Our Vision is that there will be many women
who support it, financially
that this will be a small step towards
spreading communities like that worldwide
taht there will be many spaces
where women can live amongst women
and can live as they want to
and this
without any discrimination
