Against violence against women: ÖIF, BVwG and BFA inform immigrants about support offers

Brochure and poster campaign / program against violence against women

Vienna (OTS) The Austrian Integration Fund (ÖIF), the Federal Administrative Court (BVwG) and the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum (BFA) are launching a new initiative against violence against women: Together they are informing female asylum and subsidiary protection recipients, Ukrainian displaced persons and immigrants with posters at their locations and cards in seven languages ​​about violence against women and regional contact points and offers of help.

The new posters are now hanging in the locations of the Federal Administrative Court in Vienna, Graz, Linz and Innsbruck and in 21 nationwide BFA locations, both of which are often essential contact points for female refugees in the asylum process, as well as in the nine integration centers of the ÖIF, where there are a number of immigrants can take advantage of integration measures in accordance with the Integration Act. The multilingual brochure “STOP! Against Violence Against Women and Girls” explains physical, psychological, financial, sexual and cultural violence. It can also be downloaded free of charge in seven languages ​​from the ÖIF website and ordered as a print version.

Sonia Koul, head of the women and family team at the ÖIF: “The ÖIF supports immigrants with advice, courses and seminars, events and information materials. The ÖIF women’s centers offer specific advice and support for women and girls who are threatened or affected by violence. In collaboration with the Federal Administrative Court and the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum, this important information and support offers can now be placed at a number of important contact points and thus reach even more women.

Gernot Maier, Director of the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum: “A violence-free life for women and girls is not only a worthy goal, but an inalienable human right. The UN campaign ‘Orange The World’ has reminded us every year since 1991 that we must stand together against violence. The aim of this initiative is to focus on groups that are particularly in need of protection. It is therefore very important to the BFA to take part in this campaign and thus send a clear signal against violence against women and girls. At the same time, we would like to help raise awareness of this problem.

Michael Sachs, Vice President of the Federal Administrative Court: “We must take a comprehensive approach to prevent violence against women and combat its causes. Our judges are often confronted with women’s experiences of violence in the proceedings and take this into account in their decisions. The BVwG therefore supports this important campaign by the Austrian Integration Fund.
