The urgency of protection for women in Berlin

The Berlin Vice Parliament President, Bahar Haghanipour from the Greens, addresses the alarming increase in attacks on women and queer people in everyday life. In the RBB24 evening show, she explained that this questionable situation is not only anchored in nightlife, but also during the day, especially in existing patriarchal structures. "The feeling of security is missing," says Haghanipour, and therefore demands stronger measures on the part of the Senate.

prevention work in the early years

A central concern of Haghanipour is that prevention work should begin in daycare centers (daycare centers). It emphasizes the need to consider violent attacks as a social taboo and to support this with suitable educational programs. "It starts in daycare and school, but also the work of perpetrators for adults is a task for us in politics," said the politician. Early sensitization could help to ensure that future generations learn respectful togetherness and attack no longer.

social challenges

The increase in attacks is not just a problem that can be viewed in isolation. Haghanipour emphasizes that patriarchal power structures play a crucial role. This is particularly evident in driving services such as Uber or Free Now, where power hierarchies can lead to a dangerous environment. "It is sad that while you climify a taxi you cannot feel safe," she notes and illustrates that attacks can take place everywhere, be it in a taxi, the doctor or in the educational context.

The reality of the attacks

Current incidents show the bitter reality. Before Berlin courts, two cases of sexually assaulted drivers were recently negotiated, who again put the topic on public focus. The Berlin police report an increase in attacks on women, which makes calls louder after faster and more effective measures for violence prevention.

social change is necessary

The demand for more security for women and queer in Berlin is not only a highlight of individual fates, but also stands for a necessary social change. Political measures have to reorient themselves and expand their prevention work in order to bring about long -term changes. This is the only way to restore the feeling of security and the normalization of violence against women in our society.
