Orange Day: Trier sets a sign against violence on women!

Trier, Deutschland - On November 25th, the Orange Day is celebrated, a worldwide day of action that draws attention to the terrifying reality of violence against women and girls. The alarming figures from the BKA federal laying image for 2023 show that the partnership -based violence has increased by 6.4 % despite intensive prevention measures. Terrifying 79.2 % of the victims are women! These figures are a wake -up call for society to actively get involved against this violence.

The UN initiated the Orange Day campaign in 1991 to draw attention to the topic. It begins on the international day to end violence against women and ends on the day of human rights. The aim is to promote help and mobilize the public to combat violence against women. An important offer of help is the nationwide help telephone on number 116016, which offers support around the clock in 18 languages.
