"In these 16 days of activism, we can deliver a lot of information. Survivors of gender-based violence can find out where to get support and be reminded that they are not at fault," UN Women Germany chair, politician and long-standing campaigner for women's rights Elke Ferner told DW.
"The figures on violence against women and girls are shocking every year," said Bayern Munich's Giulia Gwinn. "That's why it's important to us to send out a clear signal together as the women's national team this year and support the 'Orange the World' campaign."
Ferner believes the work with role models is pivotal and that the campaign is powerful, especially in a football context.
Currently, there is no data on domestic abuse during Germany games. Ferner is encouraged that sport has understood the importance of the issue, and that the German Olympic Committee (DOSB) and other sports clubs and organizations are helping.
