24. November 2022
Once again this
year, the University of Applied Arts Vienna is participating in the important UN campaign Orange the World. 16
Days to end violence against women. Starting on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against
Women, a strong signal shall be set until December 10, the International Human Rights Day.
One
can end violence against women!The UN's campaign
Orange the World this year focuses on men's responsibility.
To a large extent, it is up to them to ensure a life free of violence for girls and women and to prevent violence against
women or prevent it from happening in the first place. Part of the
Orange the World 2022 campaign, therefore, is
men taking a stand and publicly speaking out and calling for a stop to physical, psychological and sexual violence against
women.
Gerald Bast and
Bernhard Kernegger, Rector and Vice-Rector, are
speaking out in video contributions as part of the campaign and are also pointing out the responsibility of educational institutions
in this context.
Get active yourself!In entrance hall of Angewandte at Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz
2, there will be an information table with campaign materials to take away (badges, flyers, etc.) as of
Friday, November
25, 10 am – as long as supplies last! And/or simply make your own mark by using the color orange!
WOMAN
LIFE FREEDOMIn these days, the issue of Stop Violence Against Women cannot be discussed without - once again
- expressing full solidarity with the women and all the people supporting them in Iran. Woman Life Freedom is for all women
worldwide, especially the fearless and courageous women in Iran.
Students and teachers from the Department of Applied
Photography and Time-Based Media have selected a number of designs from a series of open-source artworks by Iranian artists.
These were produced as posters and put up on billboards. A selection of the posters will be available for free withdrawal
at today's protest on Thursday 24.11. 2022 in front of the main entrance.
