Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.

Werkself players Jonathan Tah, Lukas Hradecky, Jonas Hofmann as well as Selina Ostermeier and Charlotte Voll take a clear position in the video - and appeal for more attention to the issue.

'Luisa ist hier!' support at the BayArena

Bayer 04 is active against all forms of sexual harassment and, on matchdays at the BayArena, offers fast, discreet and low-threshold support for persons affected. The club stands for respect for each other and is also committed to ensuring all people at the stadium feel welcome. If this is not the case and women at the stadium feel harassed then they should turn to the Fan Liaison team, the Fan Project, security personnel or catering staff at the stadium with the question 'Ist Luisa hier?' Immediate support will be provided. Further information on the offer of support in cooperation with the women's emergency line in Leverkusen, Fan Liaison and Fan Project Leverkusen e.V. is available.

In addition, Bayer 04 aims to make further advances in the campaign against violence against women. Therefore, Matthias Adler, head of fans and sustainability, will take part in a discussion with the ZONTA Club Leverkusen, which campaigns for women and girls in and around the city. Discussions at the Schloss Morsbroich will also cover current developments in Leverkusen in the protection of women from violence.
