The Brandenburg Women's Weeks are a unique political format in Germany that is regularly organized by committed women. From 1 to 31 March 2025, more than 200 events will once again be organized in the state of Brandenburg by very different organizers.
This year's motto is "TROTZ(T)DEM" and brings together a variety of specialist conferences, lectures, women's get-togethers, sporting competitions, festive events, workshops, exhibitions and more, which form a clear counterweight to the increasingly harsh developments in a society that is becoming increasingly divided.
