District - On the occasion of the international day “NO to violence against women!” On November 25th, the gender equality office, together with Frauenhilfe Frauen Starnberg eV and the bakeries in the region, is organizing the campaign “Violence does not come in the bag!” For the fourth time. . What is new this year is that some boards in the district are now also joining this campaign. In the period from November 20th to 29th, the goods will be in bags with the slogan “Violence does not come in the bag! ... neither in the family nor in the social environment. Look at! Do something! ”Packed. District Administrator Stefan Frey is the patron of the campaign.

In 2020 there were 20,134 cases of domestic violence in Bavaria; every year around 2,000 women with over 2,000 children seek refuge here in a women's refuge. Violence against women is also a reality in the Starnberg district - physical, verbal or digital, it has many facets. It takes place at home, at work or in social networks. Often there is a high inhibition threshold to seek help and there is often uncertainty about how to act in the social environment of the women affected. "That is why it was important for the actors to draw attention to the possible support and help offers in the district on the back of the bags." Emphasizes the equal opportunities officer Sophie von Wiedersperg.

District Administrator Stefan Frey is again the patron of the campaign and explains: “Victims of domestic violence need help.

Looking away is not possible.

We have a well-developed advisory network, which is particularly important now in times of the pandemic. "

The emergency numbers can also be found on the “Help for Women” emergency card from the Starnberg District Office, which is available from the Equal Opportunities Office and can be downloaded from the District Office's homepage at www.lk-starnberg.de/Gleichstellung/Aktuelles under the Emergency Card section ( also in English).

In addition, on November 25th, as in previous years, the flag “Live free - without violence” will be hoisted in front of the district office and the town halls of the city and the municipalities in the district as a widely visible sign of solidarity.
