In Salzburg, a moving campaign starts under the motto "16 days against violence", which is directed against violence against women and girls on the occasion of the worldwide action. The aim of the initiative is to encourage people to become active when they witness to violence. With prominent support-including the opera singer Rolando Villazón, big chef Didi Maier and the bestselling author Mareike Fallwickl-the appeal is reinforced to pay attention to this serious topic.

The numbers from last year are alarming: over 1,200 violent crimes in the private environment were registered in Salzburg, and 850 bans and rapprochement were given. These statistics illustrate the urgency to deal with the problem.

an urgent appeal

Women's Councilor Daniela Gutschi left no doubt at the press conference at the start of the campaign that violence against women is unacceptable. "My appeal to everyone: look, show attitude and prevent violence!", She emphasized. It is important that this call does not end after the 16 days, but is carried on.

City councilor Andrea Brandner said that every form of violence is an interference with human rights. The city of Salzburg wants to raise awareness and strengthen those affected. "Violence protection concerns us all," said Brandner. With this campaign, a clear sign is set: violence has no place in our society.

LOGCHOCK Didi Maier is also a face of the campaign and emphasizes that violence against women is a daily reality, both online and offline. "Zero tolerance and no acceptance!" - With this clear message he calls for an active attitude.

prominent support and actions

There are also top -class testimonials such as the Austrian state champion in wheelchair tennis, Tina Pesendorfer, who has had experience with violent relationships. She speaks for the strengthening of women's rights, which she sees as the first step towards termination of violence against women.

The campaign will be supported from November 25th to December 10th by various media formats such as TV and radio spots, posters and online actions. Information and help offers are also accessible in shops and public transport via brochures. The municipality also participates in the visibility of the purple action flag.

This campaign is an urgent call to everyone, intervene and help when violence is perceived. It is to be hoped that the conscious commitment will bring the urgently needed change.
