Painting Benches Against Violence Against Women\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Together, we will renovate and paint the benches at B\u00fcrgerzentrum Ehrenfeld orange as a visible statement against violence against women and girls. The activity takes place ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November<\/b>, an awareness day established by the United Nations called “orange the world”.<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
We will work together to prepare the benches and give them a fresh coat of orange paint. After the activity, the benches will remain indoors to dry. They will then be placed outside during the week of 25 November, serving as a visible reminder of the fight against violence against women and girls.<\/div>\n

Let\u2019s make a visible statement in solidarity with women and girls and against gender-based violence.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
