Statement by United International Security Association’s President Oliver Becker, CCPA®, CCSeM®

I am deeply shocked by the tragic incident at the Christmas market in Magdeburg/Germany. A driver deliberately drove into a crowd of people, an act that authorities have classified as a targeted attack. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this horrific event.

According to initial reports, the suspected perpetrator, a man from Saudi Arabia, has already been taken into custody. The exact background and motives of this act are currently under investigation. Many people have been injured, and tragically, we have already learned of fatalities. This is an unimaginable loss that deeply saddens us all.

The Christmas market is a place of joy and community – a symbol of peaceful togetherness. It is all the more devastating that such violence has struck this cherished space. As the representative of the United International Security Associations, I call for solidarity and unity in these difficult times. At the same time, we extend our gratitude to the emergency services tirelessly working at the scene. Their efforts are invaluable.

We will closely monitor further developments and are ready to offer our support. In these challenging moments, it is more important than ever to remain calm and to focus on our shared values of peace and humanity.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (November 25)

Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we turn our attention to an issue that affects millions of women worldwide: violence in all its forms—physical, psychological, economic, or structural. This day was established to stand against these injustices and show solidarity with those affected.

Violence against women knows no boundaries of age, origin, or social status. It manifests in many ways: domestic violence, sexual assault, forced marriage, female ge***al mutilation, or human trafficking. Statistics reveal that one in three women experiences violence during her lifetime—a shocking reality that must not be tolerated.

This day is not only about raising awareness but also about taking action. It calls for identifying violence, making support services such as women’s shelters and counseling centers visible, and advocating for political measures to prevent and combat violence. At the same time, it highlights the importance of promoting equality, education, and societal respect to prevent violence in the long term.

Let us stand together and take a stand: violence against women is not a private issue but a societal problem that concerns us all. Every voice matters in encouraging survivors

Be a Hard Target 🤜🏼
