In Bludenz, a clear sign is made against the widespread violence of women. Mayor Simon Tschann emphasizes the urgency to put this serious topic in the light and actively act against it. Covid-19 pandemic has tightened this problem in recent years, which makes the need for such campaigns all the more important.

As part of the global "Orange the World" campaign, Bludenz takes part in a consciousness formation process that takes place between November 25, the international day against violence on women, and December 10th, the International Human Rights Day. In these 16 days, buildings worldwide are in orange light to draw attention to the injustice that many women have to suffer.

"Violence against women is not just a social, but a serious human rights problem that we have to counteract", explains Vice Mayor Andrea Mallitsch. The initiative is mainly supported by the hoist of an orange flag at the town hall of Bludenz. This flag is said to act as a visible sign of solidarity and contribute to getting the topic out of the taboo zone.

The effects of violence against women are psychologically and physically devastating. It is important that such topics are not only addressed, but actively addressed. The "Orange the World" campaign is intended to mobilize society and stimulate discussion in order to stand up for a non -violent future.

With the participation in this global initiative, the city of Bludenz sends a clear message: violence against women is unacceptable and it is time to counteract this essential human rights problem.
