In cooperation with the Beratungsstelle gegen sexualisierte Gewalt an Frauen, M\u00e4dchen, Jungen e.V. (Counselling Centre against Sexualised Violence against Women, Girls, Boys), Technische Universit\u00e4t Braunschweig is launching an awareness campaign against sexualised violence that will run for over a year. The campaign will kick off on 23 May 2022 at the Reallabor Hagenmarkt (Living Lab Hagenmarkt). All students and employees of the university, as well as everyone else who is interested, are invited!<\/p>\n[we want to] KNOW MORE stands for looking together and taking a closer look at sexualised violence in its various forms. The topic is omnipresent, including in institutions for higher education like universities. Studies show that 54 percent of all female students are sexually harassed during their studies. At the same time, 46 percent of the affected students remain silent about it (1). TU Braunschweig is launching a campaign to address sexualised violence in the context of higher education and to campaign for a safe analogue and digital campus.<\/p>\n

Raising awareness through knowledge<\/h3>\n

At the heart of the campaign are lectures and workshops that deal with different facets of sexualised violence and address current discourses. The campaign starts on 23 May at 5:30 p.m. at the Reallabor Hagenmarkt in Braunschweig on the topic “Sexismuskritische Hochschule \u2013 Einf\u00fchrung und M\u00f6glichkeiten der Pr\u00e4vention” (University critical of sexism – introduction and possibilities of prevention). The university is a social space in which social problems and taboo topics are reflected. This also includes sexism and sexualised violence. Laura Chlebos, sociologist at the Ruhr-Uni Bochum and project coordinator of the campaign “Unser Campus” (Our Campus), will introduce the topic and focus on what situation students are in at German universities. T\u00fcrk\u00e2n Deniz-Roggenbuck from Kulturton will lead the lecture and discussion. Afterwards, there will be information stands and hands-on activities. A mobile kitchen will offer food for a donation.<\/p>\n

Raising awareness through visibility<\/h3>\n

The campaign also highlights the counselling services offered by TU Braunschweig and the City of Braunschweig. Posters, postcards, social media and a website raise awareness of sexualised violence. The aim is to recognise it better and to be able to counter it preventively.<\/p>\n
