 Okay, then we can start As I will do the first yearly review of the Hexen for the over 10 years and I'm very excited to hear what she's going to tell and Welcome to Melzai Nice Good morning. Nice. You're all awake. Oh Last night maybe the party was a bit longer. My voice thinks it was a bit longer, but I didn't actually do it too wild So that's the first review for over 10 years From the Hexen and that's beautiful because we're getting 30 years old That's why there's a cake here and now I have to stand next to this cake for over half an hour and Show you everything we did over the last year and What we did this Hexen and I shouldn't think about this cake now, but afterwards we get all cake So let's start the Hexen Some of you might not know it yet Some of you might not have anything Know anything So we'll explain it all Hexen are a group who Find themselves within the group of women. We're some we are decentralized and That's all the yellow points in this slide We are everywhere in Austria and Switzerland and Germany Sometimes we have a little bit of clustering, but mostly we are meeting on the internet at the moment We are 300 maybe after the Congress we are 350 last year we gained 300 Hexen over the year that's more than 70 percent so We are quite working Have you have double the size of size of other airfares and we're growing quite fast. So we'll see So in general we are structured in about 12 Areas and we have a gig and where we decide who is going to do what for example build up our Assembly doing press and everything. There's additional helpers this there's about new helpers trainees and Sometimes we kind of choose people on our mailing list and ask them. Maybe you could help would you like to help? 300 people Because activating those 300 people is kind of the next step to make great things happen after people come to our mailing list And it's actually looking quite well at the moment. We are already somewhat successful and We are trying to get away from like vitamin B for getting access to Special activities so everyone can actually participate in the Hexen and Our interests are really broadly from CTF over Technical stuff Politics we have social studies majors We have kind of everything you can imagine Mainly we are chaos meet-up. We are not officially ever We have Account for donations at Entropia. So if you like to do a donation for us, you can give us some money and you can actually put it in your So this year we thought about why are we Hexen and what does it mean? This is a trigger warning about really negative things people do to each other so if you have Problems with such topics The slides are marked. Maybe you have to look away if that's triggering for you afterwards. It's going to be better I'm promising. I made the slides. Okay. Now it's going about witch burning our name is Pan or like a combination of Hexen witches and hacking That's why we have the AE in our name and the Witch burning started about 1550 after Christ In Europe and now to talk about the context of those Witch hunts so until 1300 people lived in village communities and We're working together on Areas for growing on farmland so the community All had some part in the farming land even like widows and smaller families could have part in those so-called almanas and grow their food and but that Was Changed after 1400 Where those almanas were fenced in so people who didn't have like strong family bonds or had access to those Lands they didn't have access to those lands to grow their food and Didn't have food anymore and so they were riots Very broadly spread riots in Europe So about 1450 there was a also a small ice age so Food that was grown the amount of food that I was grown decreased and Vages also decreased because food wasn't didn't grow that well and crops decreased and We have here the kilograms of wheat on the side and The amount of wheat decreased and then there also was black death death And so Quite bad, but we think It's told that there were one-third of the population died of the black death of the plague So there were too few people There was a lot of Work, but there wasn't enough people to do that work and there was a huge interest For more population for babies children, so there could be more people to work So does whole situation contributed to so-called farmers riots But that might be not the right word for it because that might also have been women riots and Pretty much everyone rioted because those Circumstances were not acceptable because everyone was hungry and there was death and illness and no one to understand what happened was happening and there were but 31 riots Which were made only by women in France and there was a lot of other riots which were also Where women contributed quite a lot and there were also soldiers and other groups So it's not quite correct to also only call it farmers riots And also at a time where the which burning was highest the number of rich burnings was highest You can hear see the people tried and to death and That was also at the same time when Martin Luther started with his ceaseless and sort of protestant religion started and the critic on the Catholic religion and then there was the third year war. So we had bad crops death by the plague and religious religious wars and Then at this time the so-called which burnings were the numbers of which burnings were highest And that wasn't a local problem. There was pretty much all over Europe With a quite high point in Baden-Württemberg No died quite a lot of people eighty five percent of those were women also homosexual men Women were persecuted and well, you could say oh, well, there were people who were a bit Uncomfortable for the rest of the population and there was hysteria and that's completely different from our today's Population but also there was like hundreds of young men going through the cities in Italy and other places where they those men went into rooms of young mates or so and raped those women and So the whole climate was really Against women So for women who were for example not married they were like nothing worse in in those climates in those social structures and so it was easier to Fight back those farmers riots So by selecting segregating those groups by gender and making Searching gender like the target group then you can Quiet down those riots and to fight against those riots There was a decision by the state to do those persecutions against Witches and to let those groups go through the cities and rape people. So We think it wasn't a witch burning it was Trials against women So the next thing is that afterwards there was like established the image of the virgin the mother or Horror so you're either the nice girl quiet peaceful or mother and caring for a child and There was a birth decline So it was quite important that women were pregnant in France they introduced that women had to announce when they were pregnant Or your whore Because something else there's nothing in between you cannot be a successful woman with a child But who might be not living with their partner because it didn't work that concert wasn't okay Now we'd think that we might have Overcome this for 30 years because I mean you know Madonna and everything, but we're not through with this But we can also say there was a punishment back then that women who were talking too much They were there was put a cage over their head and they were walked on a leash through the town because they couldn't keep their tongue in tow those putting on a stage is kind of An image why people should talk their mind and shouldn't be kept from talking their mind Okay, so that was the history and of course now everything is much better. We have my system. We are all enlightened we Can mostly write and read Not all yet, but what's getting there? and Everything's better, but now it's the second part and now it's getting really disgusting and These one important thing these statistics are binary so trans persons are not In those numbers and so there's a huge dark part and that's not okay We are bringing you the numbers we have and we're sorry that at the moment we cannot do it better There's a you you study from 2014 and there was 22% of women who said they had experienced violence in partnerships That's about a quarter. I have already heard a third So that's quite uncomfortable every fourth woman Experiences violence within From their partner there's also 5% of Women who talk about that they experienced rape that's quite a high number we have 300 people in the Hexen so you can do the numbers and that doesn't mean that like Every fifth woman, but that's quite high. There's also 53% of women Changed their habits within a partnership who changed their habits to To accommodate The partners needs and to not become a target So maybe if you meet a person and think they are free, maybe they're Not because they all have to reflect to control themselves Maybe they think about a launch, which is dark and they don't go there because they're afraid and so they change the habits to be safer and then there's also a Criminologist who said well from a hundred rapes. There's only 15 Who go to court and only three to 21% of those are actually convicted So And that's quite a negative number for actually Making the situation better, but that's how it is at the moment. Unfortunately Well, we have so many things where we maybe it's getting better there's so much where we grow together like football Championships and Olympia and stuff. So there was a There was a study that when the own team wins the Violence against partners Raises for 25% if there's a lost game. It's raises by 36% the next study is Death it's a bit Tricky with the words I'm sorry. It's quite hard to translate, but yeah, there's like different laws about murder and death and And how that works with the heuristic terms and the legal terms So if we look at the statistics from 2017 from the BKR That we have a 113 cases of women who are victims to partner violence. There's also men Which are 20,000 so women is about a hundred and thirteen thousand and men is 2000 and then there's also Entrance into flats Which is a bit higher than the But higher number and then there's also famine side So number of women who are murdered by their partners or ex-partners so we have have it here through the years on a second graph and From so we have about a hundred and fifty two hundred and thirty In red and in yellow is the men who were killed by their partner or ex-partner and over the years, it's And the blue one is tried Murders so but three times as high as successful murders so that's about About 350 people so if you look at the statistics about one woman per day like There's one tried murder per day and every third day this murder is successful. So that's way too high. That's terrible But it's getting worse So the time magazine I like the time the newspaper They collected all those cases and here we have the first case six years of marriage She is 89 and she wants to move to another Home and have her quiet quiet and then he Hits her to death And then the next one is stalking. It's like an online phenomenon. He made a fake profile Gets a key Gets into the flat Illegally, and then he thinks it's not murder Next thing He is computer scientist He murders her and rapes her sister so bad She hasn't woken up yet and the last one where the Victim is only 15 years old and she had been to the police and she had claimed she had Went to the police because of Violence against her and drug abuse with 15 years old And if we think about the police and Where only a few percentage of Employees a women and only about five percent are homosexual and most are cis men straight men and from those By statistics, there's about a third Who actually Had some kind of Violent act against women. I mean that's not that's just the statistics. That's not Against the people who work there, but the statistics says that and that's our climate where we live in and Where we have to change this climate of violence against women because it's terrible and horrible Thankfully even during the witch trials, there was a ray of light So when the fishers heard that their wives and daughters were gonna be tried as witches they took their they came back early from the fish trips and attacked The harbor and got their wives and daughters back So what happened back then can happen today, too? So we've met a lot of people who are working against us and we just have to work together and work against us some more so what the Hexen do is We sit together talk about the topic and we do things like have breakfasts we do fires and We talk about it in a positive way so have a positive place to meet other people who are similar than the people you want to talk about those topics, too we do memorials for remembering people who've been forgotten, especially women in IT and Sciences and to honor them to remember them that there's people who've always been against that climate and Maybe those memorials can be a reason for young Hexen to think about this and Say that this is a good thing to keep going and to be part of this and to keep contributing So what we also do are postcards and stickers and stamps And what others people do for example, electoral They're also making postcards and stamps and giving them to people So it's not just the Hexen who this this is a lot of other people who help for example, we also read books Those are three books We have a feminist library at the Congress and every time Hexen bring different books So the library is always different the work should be I said it was great And we just keep going we have a new home page we have mailing lists And those will help a lot with organizing The next load and who does NGO work knows it's a lot more helpful to have the tech to aid with that We had our first camp village this year and we have an air for best representative now So we have a lot more from the whole CCC regio work And the climate Group did a lot of work for the climate strike in November and we are working on bias a lot Especially bias in machine learning, but also there's a feminist aspects and technical aspects for that We had two geek ends. Those were great and a bit more. We had more memorials and we turned 30 We also have a lot of new local groups, so there's so many of them that we now have a little network Usually they're in the hack spaces of the CCC and they integrate it they do Python they read books they go to girls days they do Talks there they talk they meet up for breakfast or after work most of them meet about three hours in the space and From the ones I've heard they've had really positive effects on the spaces and getting more people to go back to the CCC and This year we're welcoming Bamberg and Frankfurt to our local groups, and we hope for more next year we also decided to work with the Women and computer stuff or FUCK people this year and we founded the FNTI group short for women non-binary trans and inter people And you can find out on the web We did so much talks this year on the Congress that my voice is now really sore and Even day three was just amazing And it's a mix of people and topics that are really important and it covers basically everything For health reasons and for concentration reasons we do yoga we talk about menstruation we talk about the the Good talk about the anger and We talk about basically everything we do knitting we basically do everything and we're almost through This year we're just doing twice as much of course We have a whole year no camp in between it's gonna be great So we're at 2020 and we'll just do more of everything the Easter hack and Hamburg We have a really well integrated Hexen group So there will be a lot of Hexen at the Easter hack they might be going camping. We'll see who actually wants to go We have a camp spot, but this this camp spot actually have internet We do have one or two geek ends. It's not quite sure how many yet, but we'll find out and And the nice thing about the geek ends as they're sponsored by the CCC so they're fairly affordable for people So if you're a local group just send us an email at info at hexen.org Usually it's a meeting once a week and we talk about different things and if you want to be one of us Just talk to us personally and leave your email address. Otherwise. It's not gonna work You're gonna need to have a personal talk with one of us Otherwise, this is not gonna work Okay, what else am I missing a small tip if I say breakfast or Plotter talking mumble, then that's a nice way of saying it can be anything If there's a orga version of it, it's just gonna be organizing things. So it's gonna be really boring But talking mumbles if you're gonna go or the breakfast. Those are the interesting topics And they might not be in the abstract, but those are the interesting ones And that's what it is Let's go for questions and now there's gonna be cake So you've been listening to this translation of the hexen yearly Review and we were translating the talk where Escarina and Lottie Lottie The talk was by Meltzai and we would be very grateful for any feedback via Twitter using the hashtag C3t and now the questions Hello, I've got a question and I'm one of those people who doesn't know anything about Nological things and the hexen would be one place where I might be able to learn such things and Get into it easily Maybe if I wanted to ask if you do workshops or something really basic easy for people who doesn't don't know anything about that Surprisingly, there was nothing this year, but we're planning on doing it and the idea is to have it next year. So Maybe it's gonna be next year, but you can also just write down your wish and then we'll find somebody for next year because making a wish or putting it out there and That makes people realize that there is actually a need there and For example the need to learn how to change a lock for ex-partner reasons Then we had the workshop about how to do that and there were 30 to 40 people actually Learning how to figure out how to change that lock Yeah, so Just tell us what you're wishing for what you want and we'll put it on the list for what we're gonna be doing next year So in the local groups, this is how it works if you're near any one of those local groups just Come there during the year Any more questions I once waiting for the cake That's a great cake it was too late for the party so looks really great, okay, so that was it Thank you very much for listening
