Freiburg joins global fight against gender-based violence with 16-day campaign
Freiburg is participating in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign this year. Running from November 25 to December 10, the initiative aims to highlight violence against women as a severe human rights issue. Local groups and the city’s Office for Gender Equality are leading the effort with public events and awareness drives.
The campaign addresses problems like sexual assault, stalking, and femicide through a mix of activities. Posters, readings, film screenings, and workshops will spread the message across the city. Freiburg’s Office for Gender Equality has created eye-catching posters to draw attention to the cause.
The campaign will continue until December 10, using public actions to challenge gender-based violence. Freiburg’s involvement reflects a broader effort to support victims and push for societal change. Organisers hope the events will encourage more people to recognize the issue and seek help when needed.
