Advent market in Ternitz: Stadtgemeinde promotes information on violence on women

In an unexpected turn, the municipality of Ternitz decided to support an information event on the subject of “16 days against violence against women”. Originally planned for the opening evening of the Neunkirchner Christkindlmarkt, the event of the district police had to be canceled due to short -term circumstances. The municipality's initiative came at exactly the right time to offer the important topic a platform.

The position commander of Ternitz, Peter Besteiner, and a team of two female colleagues were on site. They took the opportunity to clarify the prevalence of violence against women and provide information. "I am very grateful to the municipality of Ternitz that she gave us the opportunity at short notice. Especially because it is a very important topic that also needs the appropriate attention!" explained Besteiner.

importance of the event

The relevance of the event is underpinned by the alarming statistics. According to the latest figures, the district of Neunkirchen occupies a worrying place in the nationwide comparison of violent crimes. The provision of information on this topic is of great importance not only to help those affected, but also to sharpen the public awareness and deter potential perpetrators.

The spontaneous decision of the municipality of Ternitz shows how important it is to stand together in crisis situations and to offer support. The information stand on the Advent market not only served as a source of information, but also as a symbol of solidarity in combating violence against women.

While the original police event could not take place, Ternitz has proven through this short -term step that local communities can act agile in order to draw attention to critical issues. The event illustrates how important the cooperation between the administration and the police is in order to be able to address basic social problems.
