Live investigative journalism: How effective is domestic violence protection in Salzburg? Video report and discussion with experts on women's shelters, the justice system, and challenges.
As part of the international campaign "16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence," this issue of the DOSSIER-Hinterzimmer examines how effective violence protection for women in Salzburg is. The occasion is the reallocation of emergency shelters for women and children affected by violence in 2026, which DOSSIER takes as an opportunity to take a closer look. Investigative journalist Julia Herrnböck presents a video report documenting her research in facilities such as the Pinzgau Women's Shelter. In the subsequent discussion with victim protection lawyer Veronika Sengmüller, key challenges are addressed: the quality of care in women's shelters, the impact of high housing costs on those affected, and the role of the justice system in dealing with violence against women and children.
The DOSSIER-Hinterzimmer is a regular series by the Austrian investigative platform DOSSIER, which brings journalism to the stage. In background discussions, journalists report on their research and discuss current social issues with experts.
