On November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, Verein Welle hosted a powerful event in Zurich to draw attention to the injustices and suffering women face worldwide. This day stands as a testament of solidarity with women who continue to fight for freedom and justice against overwhelming odds. The event highlighted the plight of courageous women in Iran who, in the face of oppression and violence, serve as beacons of hope.
The event: coices of hope and resistance
In Zurich, exil-Iranian and some volunteers came together to show solidarity with victims of Iranian regime. There was an exhibition of photos and stories of women oppressed in authoritarian regimes such as Iran.
The event’s central message was to honor the bravery of these women: women who, despite facing imprisonment, humiliation, and violence, persist in raising their voices. Their stories spoke of unyielding willpower and a steadfast belief in a brighter future.
United for a better future
Through this event, Verein Welle not only aimed to raise awareness but also to promote concrete actions to combat violence against women. The organization calls for active participation—whether through donations, volunteering, or attending future events.
In a world often marked by inequality and oppression, this day reminds us of the importance of collective action for a more just future. Let the stories of these brave women inspire us to act and end violence against women.
