Women's delegates from Lower Saxony congregate in Zeven for a regional gathering
In Lower Saxony, efforts are being made to support and improve conditions for female firefighters. Recently, an International Women's Day event was held at the Zeven fire station in the Rotenburg (Wümme) district, hosted by Sabine Schröder, the state women's representative of the Lower Saxony Fire Department Association.
One of the key issues addressed at the event was the lack of knowledge among leaders in fire departments regarding how to behave during pregnancy. To address this, the state and county women's representatives are working on developing guidelines to provide clear direction for leaders in this area.
In addition to this, Deputy State Women's Representative Tanja de Freese is planning to organize a nationwide forum for female firefighters, which is scheduled to take place from October 10 to 12, 2025, in East Frisia.
The issue of appropriate protective clothing for female firefighters is also being addressed. Currently, there is a need for more suitable options, and efforts are being made to improve this situation.
Beyond these specific initiatives, general improvements are on the horizon. For instance, both male and female firefighters will have the same uniform in Lower Saxony. New ranks will also be introduced, including for the youth fire department.
Moreover, a support offer for sexual discrimination, violence, and harassment in the fire department has been created. The details of this offer were not provided in the available information.
For further questions about the Rotenburg (Wümme) fire department or the events discussed, you can contact Alexander Schröder, the deputy county press spokesman, at telephone: 0172 2062789, email: [email protected], or visit the website: www.lk-row.de.
It is also worth noting that the "Firefighters in Motion" fitness event for firefighters will still take place from August 1 to 3, 2025, in Winsen, Harburg district, as previously stated.
Regarding the new fire regulation and the new firefighter uniform, no new information was provided in the given paragraphs. However, it is expected that these will be published soon.
The county fire chief of Rotenburg (Wümme) district, Peter Dettmer, spoke about the district, but no new information about this topic was provided in the available information. Similarly, no new information about the International Women's Day event held at the Zeven fire station in the Rotenburg (Wümme) district or the county fire chief of Rotenburg (Wümme) district, Peter Dettmer, was provided.
Sabine Schröder, apart from her role as the state women's representative, is also a member of the advisory board for psychological emergency care. This role further underscores her commitment to improving conditions for firefighters in Lower Saxony.
