Orange -colored bank in Bremen is fighting violence!

In spring 2025, an orange bank was set up in the multi -generation park of the University of Bremen, which is provided with the haunting message "no place for violence". This bank is part of the "No violence against women - Zonta Says No" campaign, which was launched by the Bremen Zonta Club. According to zonta-bremen.de ).

initiatives to support women

The orange bank was realized with the support of the Sparkasse Bremen. The highlight of this bank is a badge that provides a national help number for affected women and girls. In addition, a QR code on the bench provides information about various offers of help from the city of Bremen. Kathrin Sebastian, the central women's representative of the University of Bremen, expressed her thanks to Zonta for the initiative and emphasized the importance of the visibility of the message that the University of Bremen has adopted.

In addition to the bank in the multi -generation park, there are also orange benches in other parts of Bremen. These were drawn up in the Weserpark shopping center in Osterholz-Tenever and at the Sport Lounge Munte in order to also attract attention for the topic.

global challenges of gender equality

The efforts to clarify and support are particularly important in a global context that still has many challenges with regard to equality of gender. According to a report by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development ( bmz.de ), the global community is far from reaching the goal of gender equality by 2030. Most of the relevant indicators show that the targets have not yet been achieved or almost reached.

The assessment is particularly sobering that it will take an estimated 286 years to eliminate gender -specific inequalities in legal protection and to abolish discriminatory laws. Global crises have increased existing inequalities between the sexes, especially with regard to access to health care and education.

The "No violence against women" campaign in Bremen and the efforts of Zonta are therefore an important step to sensitize these topics and to start a social discourse. Frenetic cooperation and a strong political will are necessary to overcome existing obstacles and achieve long -term changes.
