In another important development, the Red Cross Innsbruck launched a new initiative to promote women in the emergency services. This women's offensive aims to win more female specialists and to make the emergency services more diverse. The area of application for women in the emergency services is therefore enriched not only with fresh wind, but also with a clear commitment to equality. The commitment of the Red Cross shows how important it is to promote diverse perspectives in this critical area, which can not least have a positive effect on the entire emergency care services, as described on the official side of the Red Cross Innsbruck ( Rotes Kreuz Innsbruck ).
