FC Bayern is thus once again supporting the “Zonta Says No” initiative by Zonta, an international women’s association that campaigns against discrimination and violence against women and girls.
Herbert Hainer, President of FC Bayern: “Solidarity and responsibility are the cornerstones of a society. FC Bayern is renewing its appeal to everyone not to look away when it comes to domestic violence and to support and protect those affected. All women, children, and men affected by violence need safe access to protection, help, and advice – and more prevention with programs and measures aimed at implementing gender equality at all levels. Here, we at FC Bayern want to help create even greater awareness. That is why we are supporting ‘Zonta Says No’ in the fight against violence against women and girls around the world.”
Hainer visited the initiative in Munich in October, gave a keynote speech, and took part in a panel discussion on the topic. “One of Zonta’s mottos is: ‘Zonta is encountered, worldwide.’ That’s how I see a sports club too: We have also set out to promote encounters with our ‘Red against Racism’ initiative for diversity,” emphasized the president of FC Bayern. Michael Diederich, deputy chairman and chief financial officer of FC Bayern, also recently raised awareness of the taboo subject of domestic violence against women with a video contribution as part of an initiative by the Paritätischer Gesamtverband.
