Stitches against violence - a worldwide public knitting and crocheting protest against gender based violence

An initiative of stitch sip knit x @footprint_vienna x @stop.wien

We will join our forces again on the 18th of November at 5:45pm (CET) and spend around 20 min knitting/crocheting on public transport to publicly condemn gender based violence ✊🏻

This protest is worldwide so where ever you are join us on the 18th of November at 5:45 pm(CET), get on your public transport and craft away for 20 min. We will be wearing something red as a sign of solidarity and to recognise each other. This can be a hat, a scarf or a red scrap yarn. We invite everyone who isn’t in Vienna to join us in solidarity. Take your friends, your colleagues, your family with you and join us for these 20 min.

In Vienna we will protest on Tram line 1 and we will ride until Burgring. We will then continue to do a fibre arts walk towards St Ulrich Platz were we will join all together at the memorial of femicides. During the protest we will once again work on 10x10cm squares that we will turn into blankets that have anti violence statements and help hotlines embroidered on them. You can of course also donate squares that have already been made. All projects from the Protest will be displayed @buechereien.wien during the 16 days against gendered violence

Meeting point one: Prater Hauptallee station were we will take the tram line 1


You are welcome to bring posters, banners or something you would wish to leave at the memorial

If you can spare 20 min of your time join us for this solidarity protest

Wir verwandeln Handarbeit in Widerstand 👊
