joint efforts for women's history
Both exhibitions are devoted to the struggle for women's rights and the importance of women in history. While the Burgenlanders celebrate the achievements of women's election law and emphasize their importance for democracy, the history of resistance fighters is recognized in Bernkastel-Wittlich. The course of the exhibitions shows how important it is to hear the votes of women in historiography and make their contributions visible to society. The hiking exhibitions not only offer informative insights, but also a platform for discussion and reflection on the achievements and challenges with which women are faced with. At the same time, they are encouraged to actively stand up for their rights and to participate in society.
