Keep Karlsruhe Boring...Mar 10

Zwischen Grenzen und Gewalt: Menschenhandel und Prostitution im Kontext von Rassismus und Geschlechterungleichheit

Hilfezentrum The Justice Project, Tuesday, March 17 at 06:00 PM GMT+1

[↓↓ Deutsche Version unten ↓↓]

As an aid organization with two counselling centers for victims of human trafficking, for women from African countries of origin who have experienced gender-based violence and flight, and for women* who work in prostitution, we experience daily how our clients are exposed to multiple forms of discrimination due to their origin and gender.

The event aims to highlight, illuminate, and provide deeper insights into the realities of life for these particularly vulnerable groups, who are often overlooked in our society.

The Justice Project eV is active in Karlsruhe with two specialist advice centers for victims of human trafficking, for women from African countries of origin who have experienced gender-based violence and flight, and for women* in prostitution.

To meet the diverse needs of its clients, the organization offers a comprehensive support system. This includes client-centered counseling, outreach work in the sex work industry, a drop-in center for women working in prostitution, a shelter for victims of human trafficking, and group programs. In this way, clients receive holistic, accepting, and needs-based support.

Nearly one-third of women in the EU are subject to violence.

This statistic comes from a survey published by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), which also showed that most violence is ‘widely under-reported’ and often ‘overlooked by the institutions meant to address and prevent it.’

across every culture, every system, every period in all the lands..
men have abused and killed women, children, queer folk and other men, and until that isn't the case, the argument for "not all men" - holds no water..
