After the events in Cologne on New Years eve, many of the men who live in the refugee camp at the Messplatz wanted to take a stand. We made some flyers, which will be distributed in town in the next few days. These flyers emphasize the refugees‘ NO to violence against women. We also are publicizing the action ONE BILLION RISING http://www.onebillionrising.de/. On February 13, 2016, at 13:00 we will dance for an end to violence against women.
In connection with the flyer action, there will also be a small exhibit in the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium in Ludwigshafen. More news will follow!
