Die ökumenische Kampagne #ThursdaysInBlack des Weltkirchenrates ruft dazu auf, jeden Donnerstag Schwarz zu tragen – als stilles, aber kraftvolles Zeichen gegen geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt. Auch wir sind Teil dieser Bewegung. Lasst uns gemeinsam ein sichtbares Zeichen setzen. #DonnerstagsinSchwarz

We stand in solidarity, not silence.

We must acknowledge women & survivors everywhere, because what is unseen is what continues.

#ThursdaysInBlack because no person has the right to another’s body. Harriet Tubman knew that. Others seem not to. #HCUCCTiB

Violence against women is not culture.

Silence allows it. Speak up, demand justice, end rape culture.

#ThursdaysInBlack because we forget and ignore those who have suffered rape and gender-based violence - and we must not forget them. #HCUCCTiB

#ThursdaysInBlack because those adjudicated responsible for sexual assault or gender-based violence somehow have power to make their victims suffer again. #HCUCCTiB

#ThursdaysInBlack because no person deserves to be raped or victimized by gender-based violence. Their suffering cries out for justice and healing. #HCUCCTiB

Violence goes beyond physical harm.

When dignity, safety, and care are denied, violence is normalized.

Ending all forms of violence is a shared responsibility.
