Frauen in Schwarz (Wien)
Our vigils are held on Saturdays, usually once a month for one and a half hours starting at 2pm in winter and 3pm in summer. While we have no fixed schedule, the date of the vigil is announced over email and facebook well in advance. Vigils take place at the corner of Graben and Kohlmarkt, in the center of Vienna.
Our main purpose is to show solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle for justice and human rights. Each month with banners, posters and flyers we highlight a particular aspect of the occupation, such as the Nakba, home demolitions, land confiscation, the blockade of Gaza etc.
Although we have had vigils on other crises, such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, these are not the main issues of our group.
We are not exclusively a women’s group. Men who agree with our terms and goals are also welcome.
