We are the Antisexist Support Erfurt (ASE).
We are a self-organized group in Erfurt that campaigns against sexualized, psychological violence and gender-based violence in general and wants to support those affected and their supporters. We came together after the various cases of sexualized violence in the left-wing scene were published in 2020, including in Thuringia. In view of the gaps in support for those affected and in dealing with these cases, we want to help fill them. We ourselves are part of the radical left. We are not a professional counselling centre or therapists, but a self-organized group that acts in a solidary and partisan manner for and with those affected. We want to help ensure that within contexts and spaces that see themselves as emancipatory, protection of perpetrators is no longer possible and those affected can feel safe.
That in a nutshell.
