Vienna raises the voice: End with discrimination in healthcare!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - Vienna today is all about resistance to racism, anti -Semitism and Islam hostility on the occasion of the international day against racism on March 21. The human rights spokesman: inside the Green Vienna, Berivan Aslan and Niki Kunrath, emphasize that such discrimination in the city must not have any space. Based on this important day, they express urgent demands, supported by the terrifying racism report 2024 of the Zara association, which documents an alarming increase in racist incidents. "Vienna has to go as a human rights city," explains Aslan, while Kunrath criticizes the widespread anchorage of racism in society.

In the context of the report, 1,647 racist incidents were recorded in Austria last year, including worrying cases in healthcare, where those affected are often not taken seriously. "The serious consequences are delayed diagnoses and endangered trust in the health system," emphasizes Kunrath. In order to address these problems, the Greens are calling for a comprehensive intercultural training for all employees: inside in the Viennese healthcare system and more interpreters: inside in hospitals and care facilities. While Zara is documenting the violations of human rights loudly, it is clear: "Every incident is one too much," says Aslan and Kunrath, which is committed to increased prevention and research work in the field of racism, as can be experienced on the website of the Green Vienna.

an engagement for change

Niki Kunrath, who as a politician makes a clear commitment to change, reports that her drive is in the design of a better world. Despite the frustrations that politics brings with it, Kunrath is convinced of the need for compromises: "They are the salt in the soup of politics." The passion for your work is also expressed in your statements about the joy when plans can be implemented in concrete terms and opinions change. Such active participation is essential for Kunrath to raise awareness of the grievances in society, as it emphasizes, especially with regard to dealing with discrimination in Vienna and the associated challenges.
