Around 25 percent of women and girls in Salzgitter are still affected by violence. There is still a debate about whether a "no" is enough to prosecute rape as such. Women and girls affected by sexual assault and other forms of violence still appear in Salzgitter's emergency rooms.
The exhibition will be opened on November 25 at 6 pm in the Helios Clinic on Kattowitzer Straße in Lebenstedt. Christine Decker, Managing Director of the clinic, will also be present. The exhibition shows 24 people from politics, business and social life who have taken a clear stand on the "Pro Beweis" project and had their portraits taken with their statements. Representatives of the hospital will model for the 25th portrait with their statement on November 25, completing the exhibition for the time being and thus "flying the flag against violence". The exhibition can still be viewed in the following four weeks in the rooms of the clinic.
What is Pro Evidence?
Experts estimate that one in three women will be the victim of domestic violence or a sexual offense at least once in her life. In most cases, the perpetrators come from the immediate family, are partners or husbands. Many victims then find it difficult to report the crime. Hannover Medical School (MHH) has launched the model project "Netzwerk ProBeweis". Women can document the traces of violence without having to report it immediately.
