Following a number of incidents, the Municipal Prevention Council of the City of Mainz decided to set up a working group on hate crimes against LGBTIQ people and women. Since then, the following topics have been addressed:
• Police report on the topic of “queerphobic hate crimes”
• Incidents at CSD and information for visitors on who to contact if they experience violence
• Information on violence prevention on the city’s website
• Cooperation between the working group and the City of Mainz’s Child and Youth Protection Service
• Discussion with Mainz Mobility on violence prevention in public transport.
• Discussions with representatives of the boys’ and girls’ working group and school social work.
• Contact with the senior public prosecutor’s office with the aim of involving them in the working group
The working group is currently in the process of planning measures.
