Abstract     Feminist social action in the 90's set up many social innovations in the field of women and violence, sexual abuse and women's mental health. The most important are projects which involve professionals, activists and survivors. In the same period of time the state and institutions of the church started to establish Mother-Child Homes. This terminology masquerade covers the fact, that the women who entered these new institutions had experienced vio- lence and poverty. These services provided help for women, but at the same time they saw them as a problem that demanded a moral correction. Similar processes of institutionalisation of women are well known from the 16th century on. Under the pretense of help there was a hidden agenda of control. In the period of the transitional backlash those institutions serve for the restitution of the familial ideology.
