Orange benches: A strong sign against violence on women in Potsdam!

Sportforum Waldstadt, Potsdam, Deutschland - In Potsdam, a strong sign of violence is set to women: The 1st FFC Turbine Potsdam and the Zonta Club Potsdam inaugurated an Orange Bank in the Waldstadt sports forum on November 18, 2024. This bank is part of the “Orange Bänke” project, which goes back to the worldwide “Zonta Says No” campaign, which is committed to violence against women. Stephie Titze from the Zonta Club describes the campaign as an important step towards prevention and solidarity. The QR code at the bank offers access to emergency numbers and information that can be called up discreetly to receive support, such as turbine-potsdam.de reported.

empowerment through education and practical skills

As part of workshops like "Girl* build a future without violence!" have used six girls between 10 and 14 years to learn woodwork in a traditionally male -dominated area. This not only promotes your practical skills, but also your self -confidence and solidarity. This project is supported by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Integration and Consumer Protection. The Orange Bank, which emerged from these workshops, is placed on the club's training grounds and is a symbol of violence prevention and as a contact point for young women and their families, such as Meetingpoint-potsdam.de reported.

With such initiatives, the 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam underlines its commitment to women and girls and is actively committed to their rights and non -violent life. The Orange Bank is therefore not only perceived as a practical piece of furniture, but as an important element in the creation of a safe environment that contributes to the education and sensitization of violence to women.
