Pankow sets a sign: Actions for the international day against violence against women

On November 25th, a dark chapter will be opened again in society: the "International Day to Eliminate Violence against Women". Pankow also gets up and calls for action! On this crucial day, the flags of hope and change blow to the bitter reality of gender -specific violence - an unsustainable state that affects everyone!

The Pankow women*projects have prepared intensively and offer an exciting program from November 18 to 28. "Red Flags" in relationships? We clarify how you can see these warning signs! In addition, we critically examine the topics about § 218 StGB and discuss menstruation in the context of the hectic world of work. A special highlight: the cinematic performance of "Aimée and Jaguar" from 1999! And not to forget that the women's center Paula Panke celebrates 30 years of refuge in Pankow-a festive occasion that stimulates thinking at the same time. There is an overview of the events on the website: www.berlin.de/ba-pankow/ Equal position.

powerful demonstration for a non -violent life

On November 25th, the International Antige Waltag, the city will pulsate and rebellion! From 4 p.m. a Berlin-wide demonstration starts under the motto: "Let's (non-violent) life! Istanbul convention implement now!". It is alarming: in Germany a woman is murdered by her partner every two days. In the current year, 29 women in Berlin have already lost their lives through female, many of them leave children. Despite this terrible reality, the reaction to the political and social level often fails to materialize. The call for demonstration comes from a broad alliance of organizations and projects-everyone is invited to struggle loudly for an end to violence and the implementation of the Istanbul Convention.

a visible sign of support

The district office Pankow also sets a powerful sign on this day. Flags with the haunting message "Berlin says no to violence against women" are hoisted on three horsemans - a clear statement for everyone who suffers from violence! Pankow lets his voice sound out loud for all women and girls who suffer from the blows and invisibility of society.
