Sichere Wiesen - a safer Octoberfest for girls and women!
Sichere Wiesen offers a safe haven at Octoberfest for girls and women from around the world. Please help us to support it!
When: Friday, September 21st, 6 p.m., near Hauptbahnhof
Oktoberfest time is rolling around soon, and that means it’s time for the Sichere Wiesn action. Our job is to pass out flyers to local hotels and hostels just in time for Oktoberfest, so that female guests know about it. As usual, we’ll split up into small groups with Sichere Wiesn staff and distribute flyers to hotels in the city center.
For those of you who are new to AAUPW -- our club supports this valuable non-profit organization which provides a security point at the Oktoberfest grounds for women and girls who need help. Please volunteer to help. It just takes a little more than an hour. See the Evite for more details and to sign up.
Thank you!

The Handmaid's Tail by Margaret Atwood
A dystopian novel set in a near-future New England in a United States governed by a totalitarian theocracy, where women have absolutely no rights.[1] The Handmaid's Tale explores themes of women in subjugation to misogyny in a patriarchal society and the various means by which these women attempt to gain individualism and independence.
The Japanese Lover by Isabel Allende
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
In the novel, the Underground Railroad is chronicling a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South.[1] In Whitehead’s conception, the Underground Railroad is not a metaphor—but an actual railroad winding beneath the earth, as conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. A suspenseful tale of escape and pursuit, it combines elements of fantasy and the counter-factual with an unflinching, painfully truthful depiction of American slavery. [1]
