Weimar- The incidents of violence and discrimination assume alarming proportions, including the brutal attack on a 15-year-old girl in Weimar.

background of the attack

The person seen represents an uncanny increase in intolerance towards differently looking young people. The attacked young person typically dresses in black, which characterizes them as part of the Gothic culture. This style apparently was enough to make it the target of hostility.

The incident in detail

Last Friday, around 8 p.m., the girl with three friends was on the busy theater square. Suddenly there was an aggressive attack: an unknown person threw several raw eggs on the group, which culminated in the subsequent violence. When the girl defended herself, she was attacked by a woman who pulled her on her hair and hit the ground.

the social relevance

This incident not only illustrates the personal threat to the girl concerned, but also symbolizes a growing problem in our society - the violence against people that fall from the framework of the "normative". Such attacks can have far -reaching consequences for the mental health of victims and fuel a climate of fear among young people who dress or behavior.

reactions and follow

After the incident, the injured complaint was issued and the police have initiated investigations for attempted dangerous bodily harm. In the meantime, an 18-year-old Serb has been identified as an attacker, but the egg thrower has so far remained at large. Police spokesman Daniel Müller commented on the current situation and explained that there was no information about the motive of the crime.

conclusions and outlook

The fact that such attacks could also affect other young people requires a determined action on the part of society. The sensitization to diversity and the promotion of a respectful coexistence are essential in order to counteract such incidents. Those affected should also be encouraged to report incidents so that appropriate measures can be taken. The events in Weimar should serve as an impetus to think about dealing with difference in everyday life.
