Gewalt im Haus

In the organizer's words:

In Germany, a woman is killed by her (ex-)partner every three days - the highest escalation level of violence that affects almost all women in their lives. Paradoxically, it is a lonely experience: in the private sphere, violence, whether verbal and psychological or physical, escapes almost all social control.
Those affected are thrown back on themselves, on a perception that is becoming uncertain and on dwindling resources: They find themselves emotionally, and very often economically, dependent and in a family constellation that seems almost impossible to resolve. At the same time, they are isolated within a shrinking social environment.
The author Barbara Peveling reflects on her own experiences as a victim of domestic violence: as a partner in violent relationships and as the daughter of a man who ultimately killed himself. What is the origin of this violence, what paths can those affected take?

Barbara Peveling, born in Siegen in 1974, holds a doctorate in ethnology and is an author and journalist. Together with Nikola Richter, she published the 2021 pamphlet Kinderkriegen. Reproduction reloaded. She lives near Paris and in Cologne.
