Women worldwide are still being abused, mistreated, mutilated, and killed solely because of their female gender. The Federal Association for Work with Perpetrators of Domestic Violence (BAG TäHG) condemns the worldwide prevalence of gender-based violence by men against women and children.
Furthermore, the BAG TäHG condemns in the strongest possible terms the suffering caused by Russia, brought about by the brazen and senseless invasion of Ukraine – particularly affecting women and children. Thousands of women and mothers with their children are fleeing from the Russian army.
On International Women’s Day, the BAG TäHG calls for an end to violence against women and their children at last.
