Women Union Ebersberg celebrates 40 years: Together for equality!

Ebersberg, Deutschland - In Ebersberg it is celebrated! The Women Union celebrates its 40th anniversary on July 20 with a summer festival at the picturesque Klostersee. Irmtraud Anhalt, the founder of the women Union in Ebersberg, proudly looks back on four decades of committed and successful women's politics. Her vision, creating a network for women in 1985, was particularly prioritized at a time when the CSU was not exactly known for its women's political ambitions. Only every sixth name on the party list was female, which prompted Anhalt to become active.

"There is something," says Anhalt, who mobilized women in a call in the newspaper. The local association was founded with ten committed women, even if the search for fellow campaigners was initially anything but easy. Many women were very busy with their families and professions, which made political engagement difficult. Supported by Mayor Hans Vollhardt and Walter Brilmayer, the women Union Ebersberg was finally able to reach some important milestones. Among other things, the midday care in schools was established and an equality office was established.

successes that history write

The women Union not only organized a weekly consultation in the town hall, but also launched numerous events such as toy exchanges and playground festivals. The committed group is particularly important to focus on domestic violence, which received attention with the co -initiation of a women's emergency call in Ebersberg. "Women have to become active to make changes," emphasizes Anhalt and emphasizes that the political participation is essential.

Today, however, women still face challenges. Despite legal equality, they are often disadvantaged professionally and socially, as the women Union explains on their website. In particular, family -related obligations bring many to become politically active. Anhalt wants a 50/50 relationship in political bodies in order to adequately represent the perspectives and goals of women in all areas of life. "Politics should not be determined solely by men," the Women Union is certain. The highest number of women in political decision -making bodies is currently reached, but there is still a lot to do.

a look ahead

The commitment within the women Union remains unbroken. The members continue to work to facilitate other women and to represent their interests at various political levels-be it at federal, state, district or place level. Women should recognize and support the importance of family work and volunteering in society in order to further promote equality.

The ongoing exchange and the participation of important political issues remain crucial. Even if the way there is challenging, the goal is clear: women should not only take on equal rights, but actively participate in political will formation. "We make this a task," emphasizes the women Union, who wants to start with fresh courage in the next 40 years.
