This was highlighted by a power point presentation of different women who have been recognized nationally and internationally for their fight for women rights.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, this was followed by discussions in small groups which went deeper into personal and international struggles and how we can support each other in our struggle for liberation. \u201eSince feminism is about hearing different stories\u201c, in these small groups we talked about personal experiences and generally what women from our countries of origin went through in the past and what they are currently going through. What has improved and what needs to improve so that patriarchy and sexism stops to dominate the society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We heard different stories for example from Somalia where girls are now not only being brutally raped but murdered and mutilated. So that now a lot of them are not able to leave the house alone, for example to attend school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Cameroon the 8<sup>th<\/sup> of March has nowadays become a day of mourning for a lot of women and some women reported from a shopping campaign by the government in which special women cloth are  printed and sold for the Women Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nhashtag #mydressmychoice coming up in 2014 in Kenya, after an\nincident where a woman was stripped and assaulted by man because of\nan \u201cindecent\u201d clothing, pushed a lot of woman to the streets\nfighting against violence against women and self-determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nGermany and all other European countries the violations and violence\nagainst women is constantly present which is also reflected by the\nfull women shelters. Yet, in most cases there isn&#8217;t any justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\nsee it is the same fight all over the world and therefore we will\nstick to the quote one of the workshop participants shared with us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf\nyou want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, <strong>go\ntogether<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unsere Frauen*streik Demonstration am 8.
