Violence against women

Book recommendations on the "We are the daughters" debate

The "We are the daughters" movement emerged in response to Friedrich Merz's "cityscape" statement, in which he linked crime in cities and violence against women in particular with migration and deportations. Many people saw these statements as racist and discriminatory. Demonstrators in many German cities pointed out that violence against women is not a migration problem, but a structural one.

We have compiled a small collection of media on the topic of gender-specific violence.
