Girl’s daycare Lyssa started up in Ljungby last autumn but does not have a physical premises. Instead, all contact takes place via a chat on the phone. All girls and children of different ages who feel unwell can turn here.
– For me, this is mostly about girls getting a voice, making themselves heard. We can help with self-esteem and self-confidence, which I think is very important, says Josefine Eskilsson.
Formed in October last year
Tjejjouren Lyssa belongs to ROKS, the national organization for women’s shelters and girls’ shelters in Sweden. It is a non-profit association without any contributions. But that hasn’t stopped Josefine.
– When I was growing up, I didn’t know where to turn when I didn’t feel well, and that we are now here for girls who don’t really know where to turn with their problems. I think that is extremely important, says Josefine.
