Together for a non -violent life: Orange The World in Stockerau!

In an impressive sign against violence on women, the town hall of Stockerau shines in bright orange. On the occasion of the international day to eliminate violence against women on November 25th, initiated by the Soroptimists and in cooperation with the municipality, flags were raised and a walk together through the city. This campaign aims to send a strong sign of the rights to a non -violent life, as Mayor Andrea Völkl emphasized. Such engagement is necessary, because violence against women remains an alarming reality that takes place in many areas of life, be it at home, at school or in digital space and is not visible in many cases, reported MeinDien.

At the same time, November 25 marked the beginning of the international UN campaign "Orange the World", which lasts until December 10th. The campaign draws attention to the persistent problem of gender -specific violence, which is one of the most common human rights violations.
