“Every third woman in Germany experiences violence in her life. Every one of them is one too many! Most of them don't even talk about it because they are afraid and ashamed. Let's break the silence together and ensure the safety of women and girls, always and everywhere in our society.”

Bettina Weiguny, Zonta Union Deutschland

"Combating and preventing violence against women is a task for society as a whole. We must finally take a closer look, talk about it and consistently stand by those who are affected. This is the contribution that each and every one of us can make. The fact that cosnova is making such a generous donation and is also taking a clear stand against violence against women, both internally and externally, is exemplary. We are very grateful to cosnova and are delighted about this partnership."

Katja Kamphans, President of Zonta Germany

"The impulse to take a stand against violence against women and girls came from our employees. We immediately decided that as a company that reaches so many women every day, we wanted to take action. The response and commitment of our colleagues from the most diverse departments has been incredible.”

Yvonne Wutzler, Chief Marketing Officer, cosnova

„We need a new concept of masculinity to prevent violence against women in the long term.“

Dr. Susanne v. Bassewitz Advocacy Officer, Union deutscher Zonta Clubs

Sarah herself affected by violence in a relationship, "It is a shocking fact that one in three women experience violence at least once in their lives. It is still far too often stigmatized and there is not enough awareness that it can happen to any woman, regardless of her background, social status or age. That's why it's so important to raise awareness and break the taboo that often surrounds it.”
