Women working for the public
Standing up for the general public – that’s what Julia Petschnig from the Together association, Asha Osman from the Neighbors association and the Tyrolean hotelier Petra Falkner do every day. With its Together Points, refugee homes and restaurants, Petschnig helps many people who would fall by the wayside without support. The Somali Osman has already informed hundreds of Somali women in Austria about the dangers of genital mutilation and supports girls and women with advice and support so that they can seize their opportunities in Austria.

Sabina Zwitter met the three women.
