Im Rahmen der Orange Days – rund um den Internationalen Tag zur Beseitigung von Gewalt gegen Frauen am 25. November – möchten wir Sie herzlich zur kommenden Lunch Time Lecture zum Thema Digitale Gewalt einladen. Die Orange Days machen auf geschlechtsspezifische und sexualisierte Gewalt aufmerksam und richten den Blick dabei zunehmend auch auf digitale Formen.

Dass Handlungsbedarf besteht, zeigen aktuelle Zahlen: Laut dem Bundeskriminalamt wurden 2024 bundesweit mehrere zehntausend Fälle digitaler Gewalt erfasst, darunter Stalking, Bedrohungen, sexueller Missbrauch und das unerlaubte Verbreiten intimer Bilder. Frauen und Mädchen sind hier besonders häufig betroffen – digitale Räume sind damit keine gewaltfreien Räume, sondern oftmals eine Fortsetzung bestehender Ungleichheiten.

Veranstaltungsdetails:

• Donnerstag, 04.12.2025, 13:00 – 14:00 Uhr
• Online (BBB-Raum) – keine Anmeldung erforderlich
• Vortragssprache: Englisch
• Referentin: Cordelia Moore (https://digitalegewalt.de/)

Inhalt:
Sexualized violence in digital spaces – causes, consequences and prevention
Our society is becoming increasingly digital. Social media connects people, but many also experience violence there. Threats and insults are found every day. Intimate images are released, and victims are blackmailed. Women and girls are particularly affected by many forms of sexualized violence, which continues in digital spaces. The lecture will discuss the social causes of violence, how those affected can be supported, and how such forms of violence can be prevented in the future.

Wir freuen uns über eine rege Teilnahme und über die Weitergabe dieser Einladung in Ihren Bereichen. Nutzen Sie hierfür gerne den angehängten Flyer sowie die Informationen auf unserer Website.

Rückfragen, Anmerkungen und weitere Themenwünsche für die Reihe Gender und Diversity MINT und Medizin der Gleichstellungsbüros der Fakultäten V und VI richten Sie bitte an (Referentin für Gender- und Diversity-Management, Fakultät VI)

As part of the Orange Days - around the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25 - we would like to invite you to the upcoming Lunch Time Lecture on the topic of digital violence. The Orange Days draw attention to gender-specific and sexualized violence and increasingly focus on digital forms.

Current figures show that there is a need for action: According to the Federal Criminal Police Office, several tens of thousands of cases of digital violence were recorded nationwide in 2024, including stalking, sexual abuse, threats and the unauthorized distribution of intimate images. Women and girls are particularly frequently affected here - digital spaces are therefore not violence-free spaces, but often a continuation of existing inequalities.

Event details:

• Thursday, 04.12.2025, 13:00 - 14:00
• Online (BBB room) - no registration required
• Lecture language: English

Our society is becoming increasingly digital. Social media connects people, but many also experience violence there. Threats and insults can be found there every day. Intimate images are published and victims are blackmailed. Women and girls are particularly affected by many forms of sexualized violence. This also continues in digital spaces. The lecture will discuss the social causes of violence. It will also address how those affected can be supported and how we can prevent these forms of violence in the future.
