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.
