Vigil in Baden: Women demand an end to men's power!

In a powerful sign against men's power, the SPÖ women in Baden organized a vigil under the direction of Gerlinde Brendinger. As part of the Austria -wide “16 days against violence” campaign, participants carried silence for 20 minutes to remember the numerous victims. The event took place at the plague column and was also supported by SPÖ men. Brendinger emphasized that it was crucial not to look away, but to stay active when you notice signs of violence. The women's counseling "Undine" in Baden is available as a contact point for those affected by violence, while the police can also intervene in acute situations, among other things through bans, such as meinzirk.at reported.

Women's wishes at petrol stations

In a representative survey, created by the MCS group, women's wishes were examined at petrol stations. These not only want safe places to refuel, but also an appealing atmosphere and offers that meet your needs. Statistics show that every third woman never buys at a petrol station and every eighth woman feels insecure there. Many urgently want a parcel shop and a better selection of fresh and healthy food, since the shop often does not present itself as an attractive alternative to other shops. Like welt.de prefer 80 percent of women who address their needs directly.

A petrol station operator in Baden-Württemberg reacted to this and fundamentally revised his business concept. The shop has been modernized in order to address women in particular by creating inviting wood interiors and a better presentation of food. An improved personnel game also aims to create a friendly atmosphere. The new approach shows how important it is to take the wishes and worries of women seriously and could serve as a model for other petrol stations, as the report suggests.
