Waiern sets signs: International day against violence on women

On the international day against violence against women, the problem of violence against women was drawn attention to in the hospital in Waiern. Usually the building would shine in a striking orange to promote solidarity and consciousness. This year, however, this is not possible due to construction site work.

The extensive renovation of the hospital takes a seat and changes the usual appearance. The responsible persons regret that the striking orange, which symbolically stands for the fight against violence, cannot be displayed as usual. Nevertheless, the "Orange the World" initiative remains of central importance, and the organizations behind this campaign emphasize how important it is to be able to talk about these difficult social issues.

symbolism and meaning

The orange light is considered a symbol of fighting violence against women and is intended to commit the public to think about the topic. The decision to point out this in Waier shows shows how important local institutions take violence on women. They offer help and support those affected in difficult situations.

The construction work in the hospital could change the external appearance, but the use of violence on women remains unbroken. Various events are planned to raise awareness, even if the traditional light is missing. This initiative does not affect the opportunity to discuss the protection and rights of women. A commitment to address violent excesses should continue to be promoted.

The active supporters and organizations continue to point to the urgency of attracting violence to women to public awareness. Current statistics show that despite positive social developments, an alarming proportion of women is still affected by violence. Details are in an article at www.meinbezirk.at to read .

It should therefore be noted that even without the bright orange, the commitment to the rights of women in Waiern remains strong, and that the citizens are still asked to reflect on this important topic and to actively participate in discussions.
