Gießen Launches Sexual Assault Support Project in September
Gießen, one of Hesse's 14 model cities, is launching a significant project this September. The 'Medical Immediate Help After Sexual Assault' initiative aims to support victims, raise awareness, and provide resources. It's led by the Women's and Equality Offices of Gießen, with backing from the Hessian Ministry of Labor.
The project ensures victims' confidentiality and anonymity. Medical care and counseling services are provided without filing a report unless the victim chooses to do so. Evidence can be secured anonymously and stored for a year, giving victims time to decide about reporting.
Starting in September, a Gießen city bus will display a poster promoting the project. This campaign seeks to educate the public that sexual violence is never the victim's fault. It's coordinated by an organization that can be found by contacting local authorities, health support services, or victim support facilities. Possible points of contact include the Uniklinik Gießen-Marburg and local women's helplines or counseling services.
The 'Medical Immediate Help After Sexual Assault' project in Gießen is a significant step towards supporting victims of sexual violence and challenging societal perceptions. With anonymous evidence securing, confidential care, and public awareness campaigns, it offers crucial support and empowers victims to seek help on their terms.
