I want to share a little girl's beautiful moment I witnessed today (feddit.org)

This may sound like an "and then everybody clapped" thing but consider that ultimately if I was to lie I'd come up with something more dramatic 😄

So I was walking through the park and came by a bench with the words "Kein Platz für Gewalt an Frauen" (= No room for violence against women) written on it. I sat down next to the writing and started reading a book when this girl, maybe 9 or 10, came by and gave the bench a long, focused stare before gleefully letting her mother and grandmother know about the writing. You could tell it genuinely had an impact on her, like she felt seen. And her family looked happy for her too and affirmed that, yes, this is a great message.

Especially in a place like a public park where women often feel particularly unsafe it was nice to see that a little act of vandalism managed to remind a young girl that this is hers to enjoy too, and without fear.
