The women’s rights organization Terre des Femmes has sharply criticized Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The reason is his recent statements, which are related to migration and the rise of the AfD. Merz had explained that progress was being made in repatriating foreigners, but that problems continued to be seen in the cityscape. These statements met with severe criticism at Terre des Femmes because they served stereotypes and could distract from the actual problems.
Christa Stolle, federal executive director of Terre des Femmes, countered that the most dangerous place for a woman is still her own home. She emphasized that women’s rights apply to all women and that violence by men must be combated regardless of their origin or appearance. This statement highlights the need to focus on protecting women rather than making blanket statements that can be discriminatory.
When asked about his statement, Merz replied that one should ask his daughters to understand what he meant. Stolle described this answer as blanket and discriminatory. She criticized the fact that patriarchal structures of violence are deeply rooted in Germany and that it doesn’t help anyone if the Chancellor uses such stereotypes. Terre des Femmes therefore calls for concrete measures to improve the situation of women.
The organization calls on Merz to focus on actually protecting women. This includes more funding for women’s shelters, better prosecution of domestic violence and targeted prevention. According to the federal government, 11,807 people were deported or transferred to other EU states in the first half of 2025, which represents a significant increase compared to the previous year. Terre des Femmes emphasizes that Merz can act in her own country to effectively combat violence against women.
