Violence against women and right-wing violence in Germany

Overview

Memorial events were held in Thuringia to honor victims of femicide and right-wing violence. In Weimar, approximately 60 people gathered to commemorate women killed by partners or ex-partners, highlighting the absence of a specific legal definition for femicide in Germany. In Erfurt, the second annual memorial day for victims of right-wing violence focused on the theme ‘Who belongs to public space?’ and included calls for official state recognition of victims.

In response to the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, various initiatives are scheduled across Germany. In Gießen, a program running from November 6 to December 15 aims to raise awareness regarding sexism, racism, and gender-based violence, featuring a central community action on November 25. Additionally, in Neukirchen-Vluyn, a film screening is planned for November 26 as part of the United Nations ‘Orange Days’ campaign to address domestic violence and prevention services.
