Strong actors ensured an emotional International Women's Day in Moosburg - with militant appeals and a hairy campaign.
Moosburg
– Asita Djamschidi caused a stir on International Women’s Day in Moosburg with a special expression of solidarity.
During her talk about alienated women in countries like the Islamic State of Iran, she grabbed a pair of scissors and cut off her braid.
Above all, she wanted to remember the political situation in her home country and the victims of the war, as she emphasized in the House of Education in Moosburg: “We must not forget what happens there every day - what happens to the women who stand up for their lives Using rights, even if the media is not reporting enough about it at the moment.” Her own childhood was still full of joy, freedom, dance, music and self-determination - a different country than today.
Striking figures show inequality
Asita Djamschidi was one of six women from Moosburg and the Freising district who reported violence and a lack of equality.
The Vhs Moosburg and Klaus Reichel, honorary board member of the “Aunt Emma” association, invited people to the exchange on Friday.
Nadine Sukniak, Vhs expert for culture and society, was delighted to have numerous visitors and she charmingly led the way through the evening.
Thoughtful: Josefine Schreck presented figures far away from equality.

Even though the law in Germany gives women and men equal status, you can still notice differences in everyday life.
As Josefine Schreck, former city councilor and current board member at Verdi, explained, women in Bavaria receive 21 percent less wages than their male colleagues for the same work, and currently only four percent of men are responsible for raising children so that their wives can take up their job can do, and there are currently only 29 percent women in leading positions in Germany.
This is different from Sweden, where 42 percent of women hold leading positions.
Where freedom is just a dream
Tears flowed from Roshan Ataye, a volunteer at Aunt Emma, who has been living in Germany with her husband and children since 2018.
She reported that her home country, Afghanistan, is the only country in the world that denies women the right to education.
Despite having completed their studies or training, their siblings have no chance of practicing their professions due to the oppression of the Taliban.
“I hope for the day when every Afghan girl and woman has the opportunity to study, work, vote, travel and be free.”
Emotional: Roshan Ataye reports on the situation of women in her home country of Afghanistan.

Barbara Birnkammer, second chairwoman of the Vhs Moosburg, reminded us that it was not so long ago when women in Germany had to lead a completely different life than today.
She referred, for example, to marriage and family law, in which the woman was legally obliged to manage the household, or the husband was legally authorized to terminate his wife's employment relationship at any time without notice without her consent.
Courageous fighters for women's rights have already achieved a lot through protests and demonstrations, but there is still enough to do.

She also cited the gender pay gap as an example.
Only if the incomes of the sexes are equal can the partners distribute the care benefits fairly.
According to Birnkammer, 44 percent more women than men currently take care of children and older relatives.
Her appeal to women: “Don’t complain, but confidently demand your rights!”
A large network that helps victims of violence
Silvia Niedermeier from Moosburg talked about her work and experiences at the White Ring, a non-profit association for victims of crime and domestic violence.
Those affected often suffer for years from the consequences of the physical and mental violence caused to them.
In order to improve the legal and social situation of these people, the association maintains a network of 2,700 voluntary and professionally trained victim helpers.

Five volunteers are currently working in Freising.
Every victim in need is helped, regardless of nationality or gender.
“Providing human support is one of the most important aspects,” emphasized Niedermeier.
This includes donations of consolation, as well as legal and psychological advice and financial support.
There is also a free victim hotline that is staffed almost around the clock.
Since 2016, the White Ring has also set up an anonymous online consultation.
“It is a great motivation for us to continue when, with our help, the victims find their place in society and in life again.”
A Turkish app that is a matter of the heart
Fadime Kaya, who comes from Turkey and is a volunteer at “Aunt Emma”, reported on the rights of women living in Turkey: the right to self-determination, the right to study or the right to freely choose a job.
However, she also admitted that there are still problems with the implementation of equal rights.
A Turkish app that she recommends to every woman was a matter close to her heart: Every user can receive professional help within ten minutes.
She wants this for Germany.
The five women from the Erchana ensemble from Dachau provided the music and gave those present an opportunity to reflect with their pieces.
A sketch from the women's meeting place Multikulturell caused laughter, which, with a wink, recreated a conversation between six women during a train ride from Munich to Moosburg.

As part of International Women's Day, MdL Johannes Becher criticized the Freising district's cultural award.
It is given far too rarely to women.
