Together against violence: campaign for the international day for women

** A strong sign against violence! ** On Monday, November 25, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. , the district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf becomes active as part of the ** international day against violence to women ** in front of the popular shopping center Wilma (Wilmersdorfer Straße 46). Not only is it reminded - the act is traded here!

Under the patronage of the committed equal opportunities officers, Katrin Lück, an important concern is brought to the fore. The team informs about the terrifyingly high number of acts of violence against women and provides important contact points. Together with the Shopping Center Wilma and the global organization "Soroptimists International Club Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf" ** bright orange oranges ** are distributed, which are printed by phone number 116 016 for the nationwide help phone "Violence against women". This campaign has a clear order: create visibility!

symbolism of the orange oranges

** Orange stands for hope! ** The color is part of the ** "Orange-the-World-World campaign" ** of the United Nations and symbolizes a future without violence. Each piece of fruit is not just a little attention, but a powerful sign that indicates the unrealized fates of women who have experienced or experience violence. A call to solidarity and open discussion about a topic that often remains in the shade.

Katrin Lück gets it to the point: "In 2024 we are again a strong sign against sexualized violence. 155 women were killed by their partners or ex-partners last year! These frightening numbers are a call to act: We have to defend ourselves against the trivialization of sexual violence in our society!" Your words are an urgently needed wake -up call, which illustrates how important it is to expose the number of unreported cases of invisible victims and their fears.

Go there, get an orange and set an example! ** It is time to raise the voice against violence ** and to stand up for a future in which women can live safely. Come by and support this important action!
