Zwettl lights up orange: set signs against violence on women

In the city of Zwettl, the old town hall shines in a clear orange, a remarkable campaign as part of the global campaign "16 days against violence against women". The lighting, which is supposed to serve as a strong symbol for solidarity with women, is flanked by additional flags in the city that indicate this important initiative. This not only sets a sign, but also encouraged all victims of violence to claim help.

The city community has decided to actively participate in the "Orange the World" initiative again this year. This happens with the clear goal of giving a powerful statement: violence against women must be stopped. Such actions are essential to raise awareness of a still burning topic.

Important message and support

The orange color is not only an aesthetic feature, but also has a deeper meaning. Crowdfunding and Enlightenment are central aspects of this campaign, in which all citizens are called up to actively get involved. In addition to the lighting of the town hall, citizens can hang up flags and inform in order to further spread the message.

among the official representatives who supported the event were personalities such as the councilor Petra Hofbauer, Mayor Andrea Wiesmüller and Mayor Franz Mold. They were all ready to reaffirm the decisive message of the community that any kind of violence is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. One of the main goals of this campaign is to encourage all women to seek help when they are in threatening situations.

More on this are in the reports on www.noen.at where comprehensive information about the campaign and its importance are explained.

As in previous years, the focus is on the problematic issues: domestic violence, sexual abuse and the associated social challenges. The city administration is aware of its responsibility and uses such initiatives to initiate necessary discussions and open their eyes to people.

With these remarkable actions, not only visually is a sign, but the exchange of ideas and perspectives is also promoted to improve and change the handling of violence against women. The participation of the population plays an essential role in this, and the success of this campaign depends on the support of everyone.
