Asha Hedayati: Die stille Gewalt

In the organizer's words:

About this book

Violence against women is one of the most pressing problems of our time. Asha Hedayati, a lawyer specializing in family law, describes how the state leaves affected women to fend for themselves and shows what needs to change so that the responsible institutions can really provide the protection they should. The current law according to the Istanbul Convention provides for the prevention of violence against women, protection and support and the prosecution of perpetrators. The author describes how partner violence often remains a blind spot in family courts, youth welfare offices, custody and access rights proceedings and how these institutions are themselves part of a violent system. Yet one in four women is affected by violence in her partnership at some point in her life: we all almost certainly have both victims and perpetrators in our circle of friends and acquaintances.

Moderation: Katharina Mild

In cooperation with OUT LOUD and the State Coordination Office Istanbul Convention at the Senator for Health, Women and Consumer Protection.
