Breaking the Silence: What Can We Do to End Violence Against Women?

What can we do to challenge violence against women? How can we move from awareness to collective action? 

Plan B and Frauenverband Courage Essen have invited Silent University Ruhr (SUR) to facilitate a workshop marking the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Under the theme “Today Is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. What Can We Do?”, we will come together to exchange perspectives, reflect on our shared responsibilities, and explore ways to stand against violence and build a safer, more equal society for all. 

*The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women takes place every year on 25 November.  

Date: 19.11. 2026 
Time: 10:00  
Venue: Meybuschhof 45, 45327 Essen-Katernberg,
