Grieskirchen shines orange: Together against violence on women!

Grieskirchen, Österreich - In Grieskirchen, a powerful sign of violence against women and girls was again set. As part of the global "Orange the World" campaign, which takes place from November 25th to December 10th, important buildings and landmarks shine in bright orange. During this time, the city entrance and the clinic are illuminated in order to draw attention to the pressing topic.

The Soroptimist Club Grieskirchen has played a central role here and supports all schools in the district with special stencils and orange chalk spray. In this way, pupils and teachers can design creative pictures with the message "Stop violence against women". In addition, the workshop "My body belongs to me" for children in elementary school is offered, and a self -defense course is organized for the older students of the HTL Grieskirchen, such as Meinbezirk.at reported.

Another highlight is the desired tree in Grieskirchen, which is filled by families related to the campaign. Carts with the wishes of children are attached to a public location, Thalia. Buyers can take such a card and bring it to the till as a Christmas present, where it is packed for free. The family helpers ensure that the gifts are brought to the children on time for Christmas, such as tips.at explained.

The art branch of the Federal High High Gymnasium (Borg) has also become active. Pupils deal creatively with the topic and show their works in an exhibition. These images that make statements such as "Man (s) can end violence against women" can be seen in various shops and during the campaign days. Such initiatives bundle the community's forces to draw attention to these serious topics.
