Welcome to the Network of English-Speaking Women!
The Network was founded in 1993 with the goal of providing a forum for communication and exchange between English-speaking women in and around Freiburg, Germany. By putting women in contact with one another and encouraging the exchange of information and experience – both personal and professional – the Network offers fun and informative evenings in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.

Trauma therapist Peter Schröder shares experience volunteering with Nelson Mandela’s ''Truth and Reconciliation Committee"
Peter Schröder is a GP and psychotherapist who has worked mainly with traumatised refugees in Germany as well as with victims internationally. From 1996-1997 Peter worked as a volunteer with the TRC South Africa assisting witnesses with his vast trauma therapy experience. The nationwide commission consisted of:
• The Human Rights Violations Committee which investigated human rights abuses on all sides that occurred between 1960 and 1994.
• The Reparation & Rehabilitation Committee was charged with restoring victims' dignity and formulating proposals to assist with rehabilitation.
• The Amnesty Committee which considered applications from individuals.
Peter worked mainly with the human rights violation committee in KwaZulu-Natal, and will introduce this unique commission through pictures and films.
