Euskirchen’s Town Hall Glows Orange to Protest Gender-Based Violence

Euskirchen’s town hall turned orange on November 25 to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The lighting campaign aimed to highlight a problem that persists even in the local community. Organisers stressed that such violence remains a crime—and victims need support.

The United Nations has recognised November 25 as a key date since 1990. It serves as a global call to end violence against women and girls. Euskirchen joined the effort by illuminating its town hall in orange, a colour symbolising hope for a future without such abuse.

The orange glow on the town hall marked both a warning and a promise. It signalled Euskirchen’s commitment to standing with victims and treating violence as a serious offence. Support services continue to operate for anyone seeking help in the region.
