The Zonta Club of Verden is once again taking part in numerous activities to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls on November 25th.

In order to send a common signal with the network against violence against women, the Zonta Club of Verden organized an “Orange Walk” for the second time, during which, items such as orange scarves or fairy lights are worn.

The “Orange Walk” began on Friday, November 24th, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. at the corner of Herrlichkeit and Große Str. and ended at Lugenstein with participation in a vigil organized by ver.di and the DGB. This year there was also a femicide in Verden.

The traditional charity film screening took place at Cine City on Saturday, November 25th, 2023 at 3 p.m. We showed the film “The Conductor”. As in 2022, various signals were set in orange. Zonta says NO banners are hung at numerous public institutions, police stations, schools, churches, law firms, shops and museums in the district. Wooden chairs or benches were painted in orange with a note on emergency numbers, shop windows and interiors were decorated with orange colored shoes on orange colored blankets and informational material.

They took part in the actions and showed the orange signals during the UN’s “16 days of Activism,” which ends on December 10, International Human Rights Day.
