Reading and discussion with Yvonne Widler on femicides in Austria, combined with the presentation of an art project on femicides. Admission free, including a discussion on protection and prevention.
Journalist Yvonne Widler, who has been reporting on femicides in Austria for years, discusses key questions in a reading and a subsequent discussion: Who are the perpetrators, and what connects them? Which societal structures promote violence against women? How can women in relationships be effectively protected? Additionally, the role of the media in portraying and preventing femicides will be analyzed.
Parallel to this, artist Sabine Schwarz presents her art project "er/stickt. Über Femizide in Österreich" (he/stitches. On femicides in Austria). Using dish towels as symbolic carriers, she makes the fates of women murdered since 2023 visible. Each towel represents a woman and serves as a form of remembrance that goes beyond mere numbers and statistics.
The Vorarlberg Violence Protection Center, a specialized facility for victim protection, is involved in the event and provides information about measures to protect those affected as well as approaches to combating systemic violence.
