PROPOSAL BY: synthetic seerose

GROUP NAME: The Shelter

TYPE: women's support and assistance

SLURL: Teleport

BACKSTORY: We are a group of women who are tired of being raped and molested all the time. The police is not capable or willing to really help women in the streets of DE and we feel we should be doing something about this ourselves. Our goals are: 1. offer assitance to women who are molested and/or raped 2. raising general awareness about the problem 3. trying to help the police catch the pervs 4. sheltering women in need of a hiding place On a more secret agenda: 5. catch the pervs ourselves if the police doesn't 6. create a cosy environment of love and understanding between women (especially bi-sexual and lesbian women)

UNIQUE: We offer a place where women can come to tell their story, recover from their experience and help them work towards a solution. We are well aware that for many players rape is an essential part of DE, but we feel fighting rape should be as well. We have no illusion rape will disappear, we just want to approach it from a different direction.

EXP:I am 47 years old and have been roleplaying for the last 20 years. I can be online almost every day for a little time at least. I am a teacher in real life and I know something about people and how they communicate. I like working together and help to create a setting for their ideas as well as mine.

IDEAS:We hope to creat e a place where people can come with their stories as well as help them cope with everything in a roleplay kind of way. As such I also see us helping out to keep the rp standard as high as possible.

OTHER:Future plans might be: organise self defense training for women, secretly trading small weapons to women, getting into contact with hookers, getting a physician from the hospital to help out at our place.... lot's of possibilities in the future I'd say.
