Media Cooperation
Usually women's projects lack financial means and have little access to the media. But only with the help of the media can BORA reach women and children suffering from violence and inform the community and the broader public about the extent and the preconditions for violence against women.
The staff of the BORA programs work hard to provide journalists and other media representatives with reliable and competent information about violence against women. In the past the programs successfully worked with unusual researchers such as mystery and film-script authors or the German Figure-Skating Champions. We gladly invite you to approach us with such uncommon and all other requests.
However, we must ask you to adhere to the following conditions of BORA's cooperation with the media: To guarantee the safety of women, children, and staff it might be necessary to keep the names of the women you talked to and/or interviewed confidential. The locations of Safe Houses and Shelter Apartments have to be kept confidential as well. The women and children are escaping men who are dangerous and often threatened them with kidnapping and murder. Pre-arranged filming is possible in the office of the Counseling Center.
We are looking forward to engaged and thought-provoking press coverage on the issue of violence against women and children. Thus we ask the media to not depict women in the BORA programs as "ill-treated souls" and work their lives into profitable human-touch stories.
