The Feminist Party Die Frauen (spelling: Feminist Party DIE FRAUEN , short name: DIE FRAUEN ) is a small German party .

Content profile

According to its own statement, the party places the perspective of women at the center of its politics. The party's self-declared goal is to create a society free of domination, in which people do not live at the expense of women, other peoples or nature, as well as a society in which there are equal living conditions for all people, regardless of their gender, their origin or their nationality .

In her party program she campaigns for the realization of the right to self-determination with regard to pregnancy, sexuality and choice of lifestyle, she works towards the economic independence of women and opposes all forms of violence, sexism and racism .

Furthermore, the party assumes that humans, animals and the environment are linked. The disturbance of the equilibrium of nature has consequences in other places. Man's rule over nature has not been touched for a long time, just like man's rule over woman. It is therefore no coincidence that feminists advocate animals.

The feminist motto is: "Women, if we don't do anything today, we'll live tomorrow like the day before yesterday!"

structure

In addition to the federal association, there are four regional associations and one district association. As the highest organ of the party, the “Federal Assembly of Women” decides on the party's politics and program. Federal working groups and project groups can be formed upon their decision.

Women and men who have reached the age of 14 can join the party. Both women and men can be elected to party offices.

history

After a large number of politically thinking and feminist-oriented women had gathered in Germany in 1994 for the so-called “Women's Strike Day” , from June 1994 to March 1995 around 30 women met almost every month to work in working groups on the statutes and several parts of a program of a women's party - ignorant of the fact that a women's party already existed.

On March 8, 1995, around 50 women across Germany called for the establishment of a feminist party - Die Frauen . The party was founded on 10/11. June 1995 in Kassel. 421 women appeared. 242 women then applied for admission to the party.

In 1997 the women's party joined the feminist party Die Frauen.

From 2001 to 2011 she held a municipal mandate with a member of parliament in Darmstadt .

In the 2004 European elections , the party received 145,000 votes, equivalent to 0.6%, and received state party funding from 2004 to 2008. For the 2005 Bundestag election , the party only ran in Bremen, Berlin and Bavaria. In the European elections on June 7, 2009, she received 86,754 votes (0.3%) and thus no more state funding, as she did not receive 1% of the votes in any state elections in recent years and did not run for the 2009 federal election.

On October 30, 2010, the first European Conference of Feminist Parties took place in Valencia, Spain. An umbrella organization of feminist parties in Europe was founded. The Initiativa Feminista from Spain, the Partia Kobiet (women's party) from Poland and the Feministiskt initiativ from Sweden together with the feminist party DIE FRAUEN founded a coordination council as the umbrella organization for feminist parties in Europe. FUN is the name of the network that has been expanded to include political groups from other countries.

The logo, a right-cut circle with an orange center, a green and a red circle around it, was designed by Ursula Hirsch. According to her own statements, she took the colors red-green-orange from a poster for International Women's Day, the women's strike day on March 8, 1994. The circle is considered the most important, most original symbol of femininity. The cut expresses, "... We women are not finished yet, we are on our way - we will continue."
