Vienna in the sign of resistance: 16 days against violence to women

As part of the "16 days against violence against women" campaign, an extensive range of information in the city's libraries will be provided in Vienna until December 10th. The helplines of the 24-hour women's emergency call and the Viennese women's shelters are printed on every rental bon. This initiative is intended to draw attention to the extensive effects of gender -specific violence. Vice Mayor and City Councilor Christoph Return (NEOS) emphasized the importance of sensitization, prevention and victim protection: "Violence against women must not have any space in our city," said return. This also reported wien.orf.at.

The main library in Vienna starts with the exhibition "One of five", while the events are supposed to address a wide audience, starting with a children's workshop "Stark against violence". A highlight of the program is the reading "Love and Death in the Patriarchate", which takes place on December 2 with well -known authors. On December 9th, visitors can devote themselves to the question: "What do men cost?" - An event in cooperation with White Ribbon Austria. The entire program is available in detail on the website of the Vienna libraries, as wien.orf.at emphasized.
