Together strong: new contact points against domestic violence in Mattersburg

In a dedicated initiative to combat violence in partnerships, a new step in the state capital of Eisenstadt and Mattersburg has now been taken. The initiative "Districts without Partners' Power" aims to raise awareness of domestic violence against women and children through prevention work. Each individual is encouraged to act with civil courage to help those affected.

In a press conference that took place in Eisenstadt, several local leadership figures illustrated the importance of this initiative. This included the Mayor of Mattersburg Claudia Schlager, deputy governor Astrid Eisenkopf and Eisenstadt Mayor Thomas Steiner. They pointed out that in addition to supporting those affected, preventive measures are of great importance.

The reason for the new edition of this initiative is the upcoming campaign "16 days against violence", which will draw the public aware of the alarming numbers of domestic violence. In this context, the call to civil courage is also reinforced in order to create a social awareness that influences the topic across party borders.

At the presentation, Elke Aufner-Hergovich from the “Die Tür” association emphasized how crucial it is that the community is together. Preventive measures and active support for those affected by violence should create an open culture of conversation that helps the victims and encourages them.

The expansion of the contact points in Eisenstadt and Mattersburg is a significant step to offer the people on site to offer help and contact points. The initiative will help to ensure that victims of domestic violence no longer have to suffer in silence. The people concerned should be encouraged to open up and take advantage of help.

The participants of the conference agree that the topic of violence in partnerships is a challenge that must be met with determination. The commitment to the creation of safe rooms and the active support of victims is the focus of the new contact points and preventive programs.

These developments are not only important locally, but also reflect an important social concern. The creation of safer living conditions for women and children is a goal that should all strive for, and the new offers in Eisenstadt and Mattersburg are a decisive step in this direction.
