Anti-Discrimination Counseling and Empowerment in Heidelberg. A brochure by the Heidelberg Anti-Discrimination Network.

"A society 'in which everyone can be different without fear' (Adorno) – that is the beautiful vision we are working toward. Still, we must acknowledge that experiences of exclusion and hate-fueled violence are unfortunately still a daily reality for so many people. Discrimination happens on all levels of everyday life. It can be direct or indirect, sometimes expressed in words, and sadly, far too often in actions. (...) We want to stand together against this here in Heidelberg. With this brochure and the support resources listed inside, our goal is to put the focus first and foremost on the people who have been affected by discrimination and hate."
