District office Reinickendorf Hisst Progress-Pride flag for LGBTQ community
The district office Reinickendorf is a strong sign of the support of the LGBTQ community by raising the progress-pride flag in front of the town hall on the Eichborndamm. This flag stands for inclusion, diversity and the ongoing struggle for equality. District Mayor Emine Demirbüken-Wegner emphasized that despite progress there is still discrimination and violence against LGBTQ people. According to a survey, 57 % of the respondents in Germany have been harassed and 16 % have made violent experiences.
However, there were also encouraging developments in relation to the reduction of discrimination in various areas such as authorities, health institutions, schools and companies. This progress shows that efforts to raise awareness and equality bear fruit. Nevertheless, it is important to continue to stand up for the rights and security of everyone in order to create a society that is characterized by acceptance, respect and equality.Seen locally, the HISSUNG of the progress-pride flag in front of the Reinickendorf district office is a clear signal for the acceptance and support of the LGBTQ community in the region. It shows that the district office works for diversity and equality and wants to be a safe place for all citizens.
A table with a comparison of the numbers to bullying, harassment and violence against LGBTQ people in different countries could help to better understand and show the context where there is further need for action.
Overall, an important message about tolerance, respect and solidarity is sent here, which calls for a better future to fight together and build an inclusive society.
