- The foundation stands in solidarity with those affected and brings their concerns to society and politics.
- The 'Aktion Noteingang' initiative has existed since the 1990s and combats violence, racism, and discrimination by enabling participating establishments (cafes, shops, companies) to visibly signal their support for victims.
- The project actively involves businesses as responsible actors in violence prevention and victim protection in public spaces.
- It aims to encourage business owners and companies to take an active role in supporting victims of discrimination and hate crimes.
- The project also serves as the supra-regional contact point for the Berlin network of 'Aktion Noteingang'.
