One Billion Rising 2026: "Women on fire"

The district of Waldeck-Frankenberg is once again sending a visible signal against violence against women and girls and for equality this year as part of the "One Billion Rising" initiative - the global movement that campaigns to end patriarchal violence against women and girls on the day of action on 14 February.

The motto of this year's day of action is "Women on fire". As part of this, the Women and Equal Opportunities Service organised a photo campaign at Thalia Korbach on 20 January, where people could have their picture taken in the photo box together with a clear statement against violence. The photos of the people with their statements are processed into a large photo collage, which is intended to send a clear signal against violence. The photo collages can be seen from 14 February in Thalia Korbach and in the foyer of the district hall.
