This workshop questions the so-called 'security' the German state
offers in response to gendered violence. This workshop looks at
connections between state violence and interpersonal violence
(particularly sexual and partner violence) to show that strategies
like police, borders, and prisons actually create and perpetuate
rather than end violence.After the events of New Years Eve in
Colognein 2016, white mainstream feminist and LGBT organizations
called on the State for more ‘protection’ for women and queer
people.
Yet we know that the State uses its claims to protect those
marginalized communities as an alibi to continue law enforcement
violence against people of color and migrants.

For many marginalized people, calling the police is not an
option. So
what lies beyond the prison and the border?  What could really make
all of us safe?  Nadija Samour and Melanie Brazzell present from
the
recent anthology they co-authored, /Was macht uns /wirklich/sicher?
