The Lunchtalk as part of the International Day against Violence will shed light on the phenomenon of gender-specific violence at TU Dresden. In addition to the classification of this particular form of violence within academic institutions, the publication of TUD-specific research results within the UniSAFE project will determine the event. Recommendations for action will be discussed together with the audience. Of course, there will be room for suggestions and exchange.

Anja Wiede, contact person at the Complaints Office for Incidents of Harassment, Discrimination and Violence, will speak.
The lunchtalk will be held in German.

Why are sexism, homophobia and racism still so prevalent in physics? I start from my personal experience to demonstrate that in fact the personal is political. CERN, the largest physics laboratory in the world, welcomes scientists from 112 nationalities but still about 80% of them are white and 80% are male. I examine why people from so many various groups have been historically excluded from physics and suggest a series of easily applicable measures that could greatly improve diversity in physics. These measures would benefit all scientists, regardless of their gender, race, sexual orientation, physical ability or religion. It has been established that diversity benefits science by increasing the creativity potential, a key ingredient in scientific research.

Lecture by: Dr. Pauline Gagnon (Senior Research Scientist (retired), Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA)

Headlines in the media on violence in medicine only show the tip of the iceberg and only selected aspects. However, violence in medicine does not start with verbal and/or physical assaults. Nor is it directed only against a specific group. We would like to give an overview of types, causes and those affected. Afterwards, we would like to work out possibilities together on how to react in case of need. Finally, we would like to discuss possible solutions for prevention.

Anne Röhle and Theresa Bauer from the Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus TU Dresden will speak.
The lecture will be held in German.

The stronger the women, the greater the hatred towards them.

Private, digital, political - the forms of violence are not new, but they are now directed against women because they have equal rights. This historical shift has activated fierce counterforces: successful men from upper circles, Gen Z youth and political institutions of democratic states. Especially in places where equality was particularly powerful, the backlash is all the more fierce.

Susanne Kaiser has been researching this phenomenon for over ten years, she has spoken to those affected and analyses the problem socially, politically and privately. Only this holistic view makes it clear with great clarity what toxic dynamics still emanate from male-female role clichés. This book shows how we can overcome them.

Susanne Kaiser, born 1980, is a journalist and author. For 20 years, she has been studying the power relations between men and women in Muslim and Western societies, and more recently, emerging phenomena such as organised misogyny and sexism. She writes for Die Zeit, DER SPIEGEL and Deutschlandfunk Kultur, among others. She can also be seen as an expert on Arte, WDR, ZDF or Pro7.

The event will be moderated by Alina Gündel, sociologist and GENERIS laureate 2020, and will be held in German spoken language.

Location: HSZ/401

Participants will be sensitised to the issue of sexualised harassment, discrimination and violence (SBDG), especially at the university. They will learn what characterises SBDG, how SBDG is to be legally classified, what forms it takes and what effects SBDG can have for those affected and for the environment. In addition, the participants receive impulses for action strategies for dealing with situations that are characterised by SBDG.

DE 2022, R: Seong-Moon Lily Shim, documentary film, L: 30 min

Director Seongmoon (Lily) Shim gives a voice to those affected by anti-Asian racism with her documentary "Our Voices, Our Stories". In this documentary, six courageous Asian women tell of their personal experiences with racism and sexual harassment in Germany. The film highlights the interactions of racism and other notions of inequality and what distinguishes anti-Asian racism from other forms of racial discrimination.

The director and board member of metoo_asians Seong-Moon Lily Shim will be available for questions from the audience. Those affected by anti-Asian racism and sexism will have the opportunity to exchange in private after the event.

Female socialised people are often confronted with assaultive situations and sexualised discrimination and violence in everyday life.  WenDo helps to strengthen confidence in one's own needs and boundaries and to develop options for action together in order to cope well with these situations. Perception exercises, the use of the voice and the development of an inner attitude are as much a part of the course as learning liberation and striking techniques.
Trainers: Jana Böhme and Anny Matthes (certified WenDo trainers)

Bringing In The Bystander ™ is an evidence-based intervention programme by Soteria Solutions. It encourages participants to recognise problem situations of sexualised discrimination and violence (SDG) and empowers them to intervene effectively and safely. Many conventional prevention approaches focus on women as potential victims and men as potential perpetrators of sexualised violence.  These attributions will be challenged through different methods to highlight the responsibility of all in the prevention of SDG.
The workshop will be led by Anja Wiede, contact person for harassment, discrimination and violence at TU Dresden.
The workshop language is German.

In PICTURE A SCIENTIST, a biologist, a chemist and a geologist take on these questions and lead the audience on a journey through the experiences of their academic careers - as women of science.

In their careers, they are exposed to discrimination from the very beginning. Women scientists have to fight a constant battle for recognition, respect and equality.

The documentary gives hope because it tells the story of strength and solidarity, of courageous women scientists who stand up against injustice and get a worldwide discourse of change and equality rolling. In futuristic laboratories and spectacular fieldwork settings, it highlights the invaluable work of women researchers and how science can be changed for the better through systematic and structural transformation - for a world where girls can realise their dreams of research, for a world full of women biologists, astronauts, chemists and mathematicians.
