Empty bowls on the marketplace: a sign against violence in the Ore Mountains

Annaberger Markt, 09456 Annaberg-Buchholz, Deutschland - In Annaberg-Buchholz, a special campaign caused a sensation. Under the motto "Courage", committed citizens presented an impressive visual representation on the market square on Tuesday: numerous empty dishes such as soup bowls, coffee pots and cups. This staging had a serious background because it should draw attention to the urgent topic of domestic and sexualized violence, a problem that is becoming increasingly important even in the Ore Mountains.

The idea behind this action was to set an example and to raise awareness of the shocking cases. With the empty vessels, the organizers not only symbolized the lack of support that many affected people experience, but also the silence that is often about these topics. The presentation of the empty harness ethically and appealing to make passers -by to think and to stimulate a discussion about this important social topic.

background of the action

The initiative that launched this campaign would like to make it clear that domestic violence and sexual attacks are not isolated cases, but are widespread in society and are often tabooed. The accompanying materials and information at the lists explained the background to the passers -by and gave indications of how to help or receive support yourself. It is known that in many cases victims of violence remain trapped in their fear and isolation, and actions like this are an important step to break through this cycle.

In recent years, an increase in the number of cases in terms of domestic and sexualized violence has been recorded. Statistics show that the reports in this sensitive area also increase in the Ore Mountains. This makes the need for such sensitization campaigns all the more urgent.

The attention that the action created can help to make more people aware of the topic and to draw attention to the suffering of those affected. Because only through open discussions and education can a change in society be achieved in the long term.

The organizers also call for actively participating in this important discourse. Be it through donations to support organizations or through the simple exchange of information with friends and family. Together, a network that sounds against violence in their own four walls and encourages everyone involved to raise their voice.
