Amstetten sets a sign: 16 days against violence against women

The State Clinic Amstetten once again participated in the campaign series "16 days against violence - look away instead of looking away". Until December 10th, the employees of the Clinic were wearing orange -colored button to set a strong sign in the fight against violence on women. This colored labeling not only serves to visibility, but should also raise awareness of the public for this urgent topic.

With the start of the campaign on the "International Day against Violence against Women", an important framework is created, which comes to an end until the day of human rights. The "Orange the World - 16 days against violence" campaign aims to promote awareness of a non -violent, fair and safe future. Such initiatives are essential to begin a discussion about domestic violence and their consequences in society.

special role of clinics

The State Clinic Amstetten plays a central role here. Clinics often act as the first contact points for women who have experienced violence. In addition to the necessary medical care, it is essential that such institutions also offer a place in which those affected can talk about their experiences and document injuries. These steps are crucial to improve victim protection as a whole.

The clinic has set up a victim protection group not only during the series of action, but also all year round. This group consists of an interdisciplinary team that includes clinical psychologists as well as medical and nursing specialist staff. It is available to those affected at all times and offers comprehensive support in terms of violence and their effects.

The initiative of the Amstetten State Clinic is an urgent appeal to society to look and act. Wearing the orange buttons is not just a simple sign, but a symbol of engagement for a world in which violence against women has no place. More information on this topic is in a report on www.tips.at find.
