Protection against sexualized and other violence

 

DJK Normannia stands up for the well-being of all members, especially of all children and teenagers. Therefore, DJK Normannia developed a concept for the protection against sexualized and other violence. It contains structural measures which serve the protection of all people who are active within and around the club. Our goal is to prevent any form of violence in our club and show that there is no space for violence at all within our club.

 

 

 

Within DJK Normannia we deal with each other in a decent, friendly and respectful way. In our guiding principles we defined the following premises:

 

®    We appreciate and promote the individual skills of our members and take responsibility for our activities concerning sports, social activities and each other to create and offer a space of positive togetherness for everyone.

 

®    We are trying to create a space without discrimination and discriminating language as well as an open and positive culture of error and critic.

 

®    The respect and well-being of everyone, especially of all children and teenagers entrusted to us, as well as the physical and psychological integrity of every member are the elemental principles of our jointly practiced sports.

 

®    Both inside and outside of DJK Normannia we consequently and consistently stand against any form of group-related and individual enmity. We are committed to a peaceful and respectful coexistence as well as equal exchange and encounters in our society.

 

The task of all people within our club is to establish a culture of awareness in which crossing the borders is not tolerated at all. „We want to create an atmosphere in which all people related to DJK Normannia regardless of their gender, sexuality, ethical membership, religion, age, physical condition or financial possibilities enjoy sport and togetherness. “(Guiding principle of DJK Normannia)

 

We are committed to contributing against the societal ignorance of misuse of power and sexualized violence and raise further awareness for those topics.
