Political positions

Violence against women

"I have been working against sexual violence for almost 35 years now and to ensure that the no to violence finally turns into a real YES for sexual self-determination of every single person. That is why it is important to me to point out the indispensable work of women's advice centers and women's shelters. Work for decades Committed women to support other women, to offer them protection, to find help, to open up perspectives, to listen to them and to enable healing.The 160 specialist advice centers that are part of the federal association have an impressive range of qualifications about quality, counseling and prevention concepts for all forms of gender-specific violence. The work of the specialist agencies has increased over the years. The financing has not grown with it. Experiences with violence, forced marriage and forced prostitution, discrimination, disadvantages are topics that we in the counseling centers experience daily. None of this would be possible without the commitment of the counselors and therapists. Our roots are in political volunteering and in the women's movement. To this day, the civic engagement of thousands of women is the core of our movement. We have to approach our issues more structurally in the next few years. Distribute the tasks on more shoulders. Together we should work to ensure that the responsibility for a gender-equitable world of tomorrow lies with civil society as a whole and not with women alone or even with women’s advice centers. "

# MeToo debate

"Sexuality has nothing to do with sexism" and "Every institution has its Weinstein"

“I don't think the industry is very different in Hollywood. We experience this in churches, schools, at work, in politics and with the police. There is a culture that enables the breeding ground for sexual violence. "

“Sex is when both of you want to. Everything else is violence "

Sexual abuse of children and wards

“The PETZE brought the taboo subject of 'sexual abuse' to the public. Today daycare centers or schools are no longer sweeping sexual violence under the carpet. "

Violence prevention

“The work of the PETZE is not limited to advice and support for adult victims of sexual violence. We have also been active in the field of prevention since 1989. We focus on strengthening children and young people. The six tried and tested PETZE prevention exhibitions, which have wandered through the north, throughout Germany, Switzerland and even as far as Mozambique and Iran under labels such as 'Echt Klasse', 'Echt Stark', etc., are particularly clearly visible.

Every year around 80,000 children and young people learn what their rights are, how they can protect themselves against attacks and that they are, most importantly, 'the most valuable thing in the world'. "

Awards

In 2000, Schele was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit on Ribbon for voluntary, women's political work for victims.

On January 21, 2016, Schele was awarded the Andreas Gayk Medal of the City of Kiel. This award is given to citizens who have made a contribution to the welfare of the city of Kiel.
