Campaign once morest violence once morest women is reaching its finale – comprehensive violence prevention is necessary in Vienna

Vienna (OTS) – “We will only be able to prevent violence once morest women if we work together. To do this, we need men and women as well as a broad discourse across ideological party boundaries,” said local councilor Sabine Keri, women’s spokesperson for the Vienna People’s Party and regional chairwoman of the Viennese women, on the occasion of the current media reporting on the ‘Show your fighter’s heart’ campaign – and further: “The topic is far too important to engage in party-political hijinks here.”

As part of the 16 Days Against Violence, the Viennese women, together with the Vienna People’s Party, are drawing attention to ways in which women can protect themselves from violence and men can use their ‘fighter’s heart’ once morest violence: “It’s regarding civil courage. Every single man can take simple measures to help increase awareness and prevent attacks or acts of violence. “Both at work, in the gym or online on social media,” Keri continued. The aim of the initiative is also to appeal to men through creative communication. This is intended to create a low inhibition threshold for dealing with the issue of “violence once morest women”. It will also show you how you can help yourself.

It is also clear that the Vienna city government must take further measures within its sphere of influence: “Violence prevention must particularly target young people, and as early as possible. “That’s why we’ve been advocating for comprehensive violence prevention in schools for years,” Keri concluded.
