Welfare Services for Women
Consultations for Women
Inquiries: Consultation Support Section, Welfare Division
Proper support addressing the concerns of women and other various consultation topics is offered to women to enable them to lead financially and socially independent lives.
Consultations are available if you are threatened by or suffer violence from your husband or some other person, if you are worried about pregnancy/childbirth, or if you have left home with no place to go and need shelter.
Consultations are open to all women regardless of legal status, but those without a status of residency may not benefit from other services.
