- Abstract
The re-establishment of maternity homes in Slovenia began after 1990. After more than 17 years of maternity homes' activities and women's shelters programmes, after the completion of the first National Social Protection Strategy Programme, and on the basis of the »Resolution on National Social Assistance Programme and Social Services 2006-2010«, the network, in this domain, is practically developed on the entire Slovenian territory. With the adopted Resolution, the maternity homes and women's shelters became - after the verification of the programme - public social protection programmes. In 2009, these programmes included 373 beds in total, while the plan of the Resolution states altogether 350 beds in the network of maternity homes and women's shelters. The quantity indicators of these programmes are the number of beds and implementation of the stated programmes in regions. Because of a number of cases of violence against women and of domestic violence, one may hear that the stated number of beds may be insufficient. However, the 2007 data, collected by people who implement the programmes of women's shelters and maternity homes, show different structural changes. In 2007, women's shelters were in average only 90% occupied and the number for maternity homes is even lower, about 80%. In contrast, certain features (age, single status, number of children) of the users show important changes in comparison with the users from the time these programmes started.
