Armed females unite: ensuring a gun competition devoid of physical conflict and unjust advantageous beginnings
In the city of Neuss, the annual Shooting Festival is set to take place, with a unique addition this year. The women's counseling center, "Frauen helfen Frauen," has launched a special action under the theme "WIR.SCHÜTZEN.FRAUEN - together with respect".
This initiative aims to raise awareness and promote protection, respect, and support for women, particularly in contexts where violence or discrimination may be an issue. The action emphasises collective responsibility and respectful coexistence, aligning with the center's mission to fight violence against women for the past 40 years.
The festival, which takes place in the city center and features parades and a special atmosphere, has made a commitment to fair interaction and prohibits violence or unfair advances. The theme for this year's event, "WIR.SCHÜTZEN.FRAUEN - together with respect", reinforces this commitment.
As part of the special action, action posters will be placed in toilet cabins at the Rollmops alley, the fairground, and many catering establishments. These posters provide quick access to support service information for girls and women in crisis or emergency situations in a simple and anonymous way.
The city of Neuss, the Neuss public order office, and the Neuss citizens' shooting club are cooperating with the women's counseling center to ensure the success of this initiative. The action serves both as advocacy and prevention, aiming to foster a safer environment for women at the traditionally male-oriented festival.
The Rollmops mile offers various food options, while the fairground provides attractions for everyone. The Neuss women's counseling center team will be present throughout the festival to support women in need.
The poster action at the Neuss shooting festival aims to highlight the value of non-violence in public life, encouraging respectful behavior towards women and promoting community responsibility for women's safety. Kirsten Adamek, emphasising the importance of togetherness, encourages Neuss women and men, locals and refugees, and men and women to unite in this cause. Ute Breuer, the wife of the mayor, is once again the patron of the action at the Neuss shooting festival.
This year's Neuss citizens' shooting festival is a testament to the city's commitment to promoting a safe and respectful environment for all its residents and visitors. The special action by the women's counseling center is a significant step towards achieving this goal.
