Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear friends! You have received the annual report, which is extraordinary in a way. It contains many new activities, which we have begun during the previous year, while also being the last annual report that I am writing, as after 19 years I have decided to leave the position as the head of ACORUS. I hereby want to thank all those who have helped us, whether financially, with materials, services or moral support, from the bottom of my heart. I hope that those of you who have accompanied us for many years will continue to support ACORUS and I am looking forward to meet with you in a position other than head of ACORUS. Yours, Zdena Zuzana Bednářová Chairman of ACORUS, o. s. And Head of ACORUS – center for people threatened by domestic violence

Activities of ACORUS

ACORUS is a non-profit organization (association) that focuses on providing general help to people threatened by domestic violence (hereinafter DV) and their children. At the turn of the year 2015/2016 we began the transformation of civil association into "registered institute" as required by the New Civil Code of the Czech Republic. We made a proposal at the Municipal Court in Prague regarding this transformation. This refers to a new business entity, in accordance with the new Civil code; the goals and activities remain the same, they will only be expanded by the protection of children experiencing domestic violence.

5

Mission: ACORUS, o.s. provides complex professional help to people threatened by domestic violence, helping them to overcome their unfavorable social situation and integrate them into standard life without the presence of violence.

Above all, it supports the protection of the environment, research and scholarships, the development of civil society, healthcare, children, the equality of men and women and justice. The program “Give (wo)men a chance” supports the equality of men and women, both n their working and private lives, as well as helping victims of domestic violence in Czech Republic. It is managed by the Open Society Fund Prague, which has been working to develop the values of open society and democracy in the Czech Republic since 1992.
