Focus week from March 3rd to 9th, 2024 in all ORF Vorarlberg media
Vienna (OTS) – March 8, 2024 is International Women’s Day, when the focus is on equal rights for women. On the occasion of this day, ORF Vorarlberg (all information about ORF’s major focus is available at presse.ORF.at) will be highlighting different perspectives on the socially important topics of gender equality and diversity in all of its media during a focus week from March 3rd to 9th. On radio, TV, online and social media, ORF Vorarlberg’s editors explore the question of how society, the economy and people benefit from equal opportunities.
Discussion on ORF Radio Vorarlberg
In the radio discussion studio, led by ORF Vorarlberg editor Pia Lenz, we will discuss why a Women’s Day is needed in 2024, whether role models in Vorarlberg are actually outdated, what a positive image of the future could look like and what a diverse language can contribute to equality. The discussion will be broadcast on ORF Radio Vorarlberg on March 8th at 8 p.m. and will be available on sound.ORF.at for 30 days afterwards.

World Women’s Week digital
International Women’s Week takes place online at ORF Vorarlberg at vorarlberg.ORF.at. There are reports and information to read and review here. Among other things, it is about the transparency of salary differences between men and women.

“Equality is not a women’s issue, but one that concerns society as a whole. During International Women’s Week online, on our socials, on radio and TV, we look from different perspectives at what more equality can mean for all people in Vorarlberg – not just for women, but for everyone.”
