Share your story

What you've lived through in Berlin can give courage to a woman just starting out on the same path. Big or small, every experience matters here. Don't worry about spelling or perfect sentences; telling it in your own words is enough.

How does it work? Our volunteers read your story and may lightly edit it to make it easier to read. Before publishing, we email you the final version and ask for your approval. Nothing is published without it. Afterwards, you can ask us to change or remove it at any time.

If your story mentions other people, please leave out details that could identify them (such as names, workplaces or addresses).

Your story *

Not sure where to start? What happened, what was hardest for you, what helped, and what would you tell a woman starting out on the same path today?

I'd rather tell my story in a voice message than write it. Please email me how to send it.

What if a reader wants to reach you? A woman who reads your story, is on a similar path, has a question or needs support may write to us. We never share your contact details with anyone; we act as the go-between. We forward the question to you, and you decide: reply anonymously through us, or tell us to introduce you by email. It's your choice every time.

If a woman has a question about your story, may we forward it to you? *Yes, you can forward questions to meNo, thank you

I agree that my story may be published on BACIM under the name I chose, after I have approved the final version. My contact details will not be published or shared with anyone. Details on the Privacy page. *

I'd like to hear about BACIM events and circles by email. (optional)
