New women's regulars' table of the Greens: Exchange and networking in Wabern!

The Schwalm-Eder district can look forward to a fresh wind in the field of women's policy. The Bündnis 90/The Greens district association has launched a new women's regulars' table, which is intended to offer an important platform for the exchange and networking of green women. The aim is to create a forum for current discussions about women's policy issues and provide information from the State Women's Council. The first meeting will take place on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, in the office in Wabern and will be held every other month in the future. This was announced in an article by SEK News, which emphasizes the initiative as a significant step towards promoting women in the region.

Stefanie Pies, the spokeswoman for the green Schwalm-Eder, emphasizes the relevance of the regulars' table. "The regulars' table is not only intended for members," she emphasizes. Here women should gather independently of their party affiliation in order to exchange ideas and network. This is particularly important at a time when women's policy issues have to move into the spotlight more than ever.

solidarity and feminist politics

The echo at the federal level shows how deeply the topic is anchored. At the Federal Women's Conference in Mannheim, led by Ricarda Lang, the federal chairman of the Greens, the importance of feminist politics was clearly emphasized. Lang recalled the death of the Iranian activist Jina Mahsa Amini and thus showed solidarity with the people in Iran. Numerous green politicians took part in this conference who actively work for women's rights. Your message? "Greet yourself, network, celebrate!" - a call that could also sail in Wabern.

The core topics of the conference have been a long -term equality that still play a central role in political discourse. To date, it is important to master many challenges, because the goal of the full -compatible political participation for women has not yet been achieved.

a look into the past

to illustrate the context: The international day of women, committed since 1911, reminds us of the success, but also the challenges with which women are confronted. It is noteworthy that women in Germany only received the right to vote in 1918. Today, many women still have to suffer from physical or sexual violence, which underlines the need for initiatives such as the women's regulars' table. According to estimates, 35 percent of women have had experience with violence - a terrorist image that has to be brought into public awareness.

In Germany, the political representation of women has increased, but equality in many areas of life remains a challenge. The first equal opportunities report from 2011 clearly showed action in different phases of life. It is therefore gratifying that the women's table in the Schwalm-Eder district serves as a platform in order to address these topics in the first place and to discuss solutions.

The initiatives in Wabern are a step in the right direction and show that there is no lack of commitment when it comes to the concerns of women. So it is only to be hoped that the meetings will be used by many women to exchange ideas in a protected room and to support each other.
