Korneuburg sets a sign against violence: 50,000 sacks for women
Korneuburg actively participates in the global campaign "16 days against violence", which was launched by the UN initiative "Orange the World". The aim of making violence against women and girls visible, strengthening prevention and clarifying society that it is important to look and act. In this sense, the city is planning a comprehensive information campaign from November 25 to December 10, 2024.
During this 16 days, Korneuburg will send a strong sign by distributing 50,000 pastries. These sacks contain important contact information on offers of help, including the Frauenhelpline against violence and the Lower Austrian Violence Protection Center. In cooperation with the local bakeries Felber, Vulture, Rider and Mann as well as through the Korneuburg weekly market, these sacks are to be spread. The aim of this campaign is to raise awareness of violence on women and provide information about existing support offers.
social awareness of violence
Although domestic violence is a widespread problem, shame and social stigmatization often contribute to the fact that women find it difficult to seek help. The municipality points out that the first step of the piral of violence can consist of naming the problem openly and talking about it. Advice centers for women who offer help anonymously and free of charge are available in the surrounding area in Korneuburg, for example in Stockerau. There are also women's shelters in Mistelbach and St. Pölten, which can offer support in emergencies.
The Mayor of Korneuburg, Christian Gepp, emphasizes the importance of this initiative: "With this campaign, we want to raise awareness of a topic that remains hidden far too often. Every form of violence is too much, and it is up to us to look at and offer support.
An alarming fact is that every third woman in Austria has already experienced physical or sexual violence from the age of 15. Combating various forms of violence such as forced marriage or women's trade also remains a central point in society. According to UNICEF, around 200 million women and girls are affected by genital mutilation at the global level, according to estimates between 6,000 and 8,000 people in Austria.
This initative makes it clear how urgently it is to raise awareness of the problem of violence against women and girls. Korneuburg thus sets an example for other municipalities that could participate in such actions. The exchange of information and the promotion of discussions on this topic are crucial for a positive change in society.
For more information about the campaign and its effects, the city refers to the diverse offers of help and resources that are available to those affected and interested. Further details can also be found in the comprehensive article
