In a bold initiative to combat violence against women, Vienna's hospitality sector is taking a stand by displaying provocative posters and messages in restrooms across the city.

This campaign, launched by the Social Democratic Business Association and Volkshilfe, aims to raise awareness and provide support to victims.

Posters in women's restrooms list crucial helpline numbers, while those in men's restrooms present stark facts about violence against women, challenging men to reflect on their role in society.

The campaign coincides with the "16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence," a global event running from November 25 to December 10. This initiative is part of a broader effort across Austria, including discreet helpline numbers on receipts in Burgenland, to ensure that help is accessible to those in need.

With Austria having one of the highest rates of femicide in Europe, these actions underscore the urgent need for societal change and collective responsibility.
