The Brandenburg Women's Weeks are a unique political format throughout Germany that is regularly organized by committed women. From 1 to 31 March 2026, more than 200 events will once again be organized in the state of Brandenburg by very different organizers.
This year's motto "WTF - Anger Meets Feminism" is intended to address anger not as a flaw, but as a "motor" for justice and democratic change. It brings together a large number of specialist conferences, lectures, women's get-togethers, sporting competitions, festive events, workshops, exhibitions, etc. across the country, which form a clear counterweight to the increasingly harsh developments in a society that is becoming increasingly divided.
