Sozialamt does not care about the laws

Question

I made a post on this forum months ago, https://***.wefugees.de/817081/my-family-is-vulnerable-how-can-we-move-to-an-apartment?show=818095#c818095 I emailed Sozialamt about it and what I have been essentially told was "No. You cant get out of a GU unless you have a job. What do you want us to do? We will do nothing about it." This is why i tried to find other ways to get out of here to no avail. My mom cant work because she is doing an Integrationskurs and its already a small city where barely any part time job opportunities are available. I am doing an FSJ as a Vorpraktikum. Our situation has not changed! I am living with a family of 4, 2 adult men 1 boy and 1 mom, who seem to despise us for no reason. My mom was cooking in the kitchen and she had to close down window, which made some noise. The father of the family stormed to the kitchen, hit the counter and yelled at my mom saying to her stuff like THIS WONT HAPPEN AGAIN WOMAN !!!!! In english. Then her wife came along, yelling at my mom in a language we dont understand. I thought the family was arguing until I heard my mom yelling for help, I opened the door and my mom barely escaped to our room. Meanwhile that very nice father who is a "family man" was making motions to hit my mom while his wife was holding him back. It was the scariest moment of my life. I told them I will call the security then he said "Heeaa Security! Call the cops!" To me while laughing. He called the cops before I could reach the security and told them my mom started making noise. I got really mad, showed police the proof and the reply I got was "Sorry about that, maybe he does not respect women because of his culture." Which got me really upset. I told them thats no excuse, which they agreed on and went to talk with him. This is the mindset the Sozialamt has, my Sozialberaterin has and the police has. We are vulnerable people according to EU law but according to Landkreis XXXXX its okay and completely fine. Who cares anymore. There is no one to report anything to, i dont think we can even sue if the mentality here is like this. Just plain misogynistic. We cant even go to a Frauenhaus because of Wohnsitzauflage and because of how full it is. I want to do something about this. Anything. I dont want to be harmed here.

Answer 1

Do i lawyer up? Try to sent the application sent on the previous post (I did not make that application because i wanted to mail sozialamt and ask them about it because i was confused about a few things. I got a super passive aggressive email in return.) ? Do I contact newspaper agencies and how? How will I get people to believe me when they are all acting like this? I know Germany is trying to make it so that the system is not appealing for asylum seekers, which I understand and respect but this does not mean that you have to allow systematic abuse. Why am I being abused by a dude who I barely know??? I would rather be homeless than being here. I dont want to be forced to live here. Maybe it is forced because it is funny to some people like some sick joke? I dont really understand. I wish I could be home, but I cant because of the misogynistic violence and how the authorities back home do nothing about it. Why am I being subjected to this in Germany where I am supposedly being protected by EU law against this

Answer 2

Hi @maribel999

The only recommendation I have is to follow the course of action I outlined in my previous answer, i.e. make a written application to be housed elsewhere (Antrag auf dezentrale Unterbringung). Only if you do this can your arguments about being vulnerable be assessed properly. Otherwise you are likely to continue to receive the same responses you have to up to now, e.g. it is not possible, it is maybe possible later, you do not fulfil the requirements of vulnerable etc.

It is not a question of suing the Sozialamt. It is about having your wish to be housed in separate accommodation properly assessed. If it is turned down, you can appeal the decision. If the appeal is also turned down, then you have the option of going to court on this issue. In my previous answer I provided detail on how to make the application and what kind of information you should provide in it to show that the conditions are not suitable there. There is no guarantee it will be approved but it at least offers you the chance to set out your case in detail and get a more thorough reply than you have up to now.

Best,
