Setting the Tone: Orange Days 2025

“Orange Days” is a global campaign against violence against women and girls that takes place annually from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) through December 10 (Human Rights Day). During this period, events are held in many locations to raise awareness of the issue. UN Women Germany is placing particular emphasis in this year’s campaign on the violence that women and girls experience daily in public—on the street, at work, or in the digital world. The RPTU is once again participating in this campaign period to raise awareness of the issue and take a stand against violence against women.

To this end, the parking garage in Kaiserslautern will be illuminated in orange during the morning and evening hours, and an orange flag will be raised on the main campus in Landau.

At both locations this year, the student dining halls will hand out bread bags that highlight the campaign period and, via a QR code, link to a website providing information on the topic.

If you’d like to take a stand against violence against women digitally as well, the Office for Equality, Diversity, and Family welcomes participants to share a photo of their bread roll bag on Instagram, tagging the office (@gleichstellung_rptu) and using the hashtag #OrangeDays. Alternatively, photos can also be submitted via email to gvf-ld(at)rptu.de. The Office for Equality, Diversity, and Family will then post them on its Instagram channel.
