Osterholz-Scharmbeck/Schwanewede. “Violence doesn’t come in the bag” – that’s what it will say on Monday, November 25th, on many sandwich bags in the community of Schwanewede and the city of Osterholz-Scharmbeck. The equal opportunities officers Dörthe Kleppe from Schwanewede and Melanie Zylka from Osterholz-Scharmbeck distributed 17,000 bags to bakeries.
The campaign is initiated by the PrimA-Prevention network in the northwest. The aim is to increase awareness of the offers of help against violence against women. “We are very pleased about the willingness to cooperate of the bakeries, the guild and the Chamber of Crafts, who support this campaign,” said Zylka and Kleppe.
seek help
There is not only the form of domestic violence, but also violence in close social areas. Women experience this in many different forms. The frequency and intensity often increase over time.
If women are affected or threatened by physical or psychological violence, they can and should get help. One of the most important numbers that everyone should know in this context is, in addition to the emergency number 110, the helpline, which can be reached every day and at any time in many languages on 116 016.
In the Osterholz district, violence protection advice is offered for those affected on 04791/9302685. Information and information is also available at [email protected] or at landkreis-osterholz.de/freudeschutz.
