Feminist struggles against violence and for reproductive rights - global and local
Chairperson: Christine Baur (Chairperson of the AEP)
Ulrike Lunacek and Gerda Neyer are co-editors of the publication "Global Female Future. Wie feministische Kämpfe Arbeit, Ökologie und Politik verändern" (Vienna, 2022) - a multi-voiced book with and about women of the global South on central feminist concerns and the democratisation of gender relations. The focus of the discussion in the AEP library is the control of women's reproductive capacity and violence against women and girls. It is important to link the global and the local.

During the Diversity Week, many academics will highlight the diversity of ideas, theories and working methods in their respective subjects in their lectures.
In addition, the university invites all interested parties to readings, discussions and films. The diversity of our city and also of our university should thus become visible, tangible and experienceable.
The highlight of the week is the Festival of Diversity, on 24 June 2023, from 11:00 to 20:00. Visitors can expect a diverse and colourful programme around the Folk Art Museum.
