Wiesbaden Marks International Day Against Prostitution with 'Faceless' Exhibition and Events

The Kunsthaus Wiesbaden currently hosts the exhibition 'Faceless - Women in Prostitution', running until October 26. This timely display coincides with several events near me raising awareness about prostitution and its impacts on women.

On October 4 and 5, students from Hochschule RheinMain will stage a 24-hour performance on the Dern'schen grounds, marking the International Day Against Prostitution on October 5. This annual event aims to highlight the harmful effects of prostitution.

Historian and author Huschke Mau, who has firsthand experience with prostitution and founded the network Ella, will give a lecture on October 4. The following day, she will participate in an interactive Q&A event discussing prostitution, its legislation, and history.

Statistics paint a grim picture: since 2000, at least 119 women have been murdered, 69 have survived attempted murders, and six remain missing in prostitution in Germany. Almost all women in prostitution have experienced emotional, physical, and sexual violence prior to entering it.

The 'Faceless' exhibition, student performance, and Huschke Mau's lectures and Q&A session in Wiesbaden serve as powerful reminders of the harsh realities faced by women in prostitution. These events encourage dialogue and raise awareness about the need for change and support.
