Bislang nur die Spitze des Eisbergs

Sexualisierte Gewalt in Institutionen, Vereinen und Verbänden

Was schon lange vorausgesagt war, aber wovor viele in Staat und Gesellschaft den Blick abgewendet haben, wird nun offen–sichtlich: Sexualisierte Gewalt, die institutionell unter den Teppich gekehrt wurde, ist nicht nur ein Problem von Kirche(n) oder Internaten.

Langsam und allmählich melden sich immer mehr Opfer sexualisierter Gewalt, die auch im Sport, seinen Institutionen und Verbänden stattgefunden hat.

Vor wenigen Tagen hat der frühere Weltklasse-Turmspringer Jan Hempel öffentlich gemacht, wie er jahrelang von seinem Trainer missbraucht wurde. Hempel hat auch auf den Umgang mit solchen Verbrechen im Verband hingewiesen, die – ähnlich wie wir es zuvor schon von den Kirchen kennen – verschwiegen und vertuscht wurden.

Gestern erschien ein Beitrag in Sportschau.de, der mir wie ein Déjà-vu vorkommt. Hier wird versucht, mit denselben Mitteln sich dieser Thematik zu stellen, wie es anfangs auch die Kirchen getan haben:

• allgemeine belanglose Entschuldigungsbitte an die Opfer
• plattitüdenhafte Willensbekundungen
• …

Ehrenamtliche Prävention nicht möglich?!

Das Schlimmste jedoch für mich ist, dass man schon jetzt versucht, das Thema „Prävention“ abzuwiegeln.

So schreibt der DSV (Deutscher Schwimmverband) nach sportschau.de, “ … dass die Prävention im Sport „im Ehrenamt schwer zu bewältigen sei“. 

Hier muss es einen gewaltigen Aufschrei in Staat und Gesellschaft geben! Denn diese Ansicht ist ein Abschieben von Schuld und Verantwortung!

Gerade die Kirchen, die wesentlich von ehrenamtlicher Mitarbeit leben, zeigen, dass Prävention auch im Ehrenamt bewältigt werden kann und muss! Da sind die Kirchen genauso in der Pflicht, wie andere Institutionen, Vereine und Verbände!

Schon seit Jahren gibt es Präventionsverordnungen in den Kirchen, die in den letzten Monaten noch einmal ziemlich konkretisiert wurden, die zeigen, dass Prävention gerade dort wichtig ist, wo verbandliche Arbeit durch viel ehrenamtliches Engagement geleistet wird.

Auf einmal: Forderung nach staatlicher Leistung

Es ist auch interessant, dass der DSV in diesem Zusammenhang eine „finanzielle Ausstattung durch die öffentliche Hand“ fordert.

Irgendwie kommt mir das wirklich doppelzüngig vor!

Als die Verbrechen im Raum der Kirche(n) bekannt wurden, war der Aufschrei (zu Recht!) groß. Und man forderte die Kirchen auf, nicht nur moralisch, sondern auch finanziell für diese Verbrechen einzustehen, mit Präventionsmaßnahmen, deren Kosten die Kirchen allein zu tragen haben und – vor allem – auch mit Entschädigungsleistungen, die ebenfalls die Kirchen zu tragen hätten.

Doch jetzt, wo zutage tritt, was gesellschaftlich schon längst vorhersehbar ist – dass nämlich sexualisierte Gewalt Verbrechen sind, die alle Bereiche unserer Gesellschaft (ob institutionell oder privat) durchzieht, kein Nischenproblem von Kirchen oder Internaten ist – wird die Forderung laut, der Staat und die Gesellschaft müsse für die Aufarbeitung finanzielle Mittel bereitstellen!

Hier erwarte ich, dass auch alle anderen Institutionen, die sich ebenfalls durch wissentliche Ignoranz oder Vertuschung mitschuldig gemacht haben, auch ihren immateriellen und materiellen Beitrag zur Aufarbeitung, Prävention und Entschädigung leisten!

Es ist eine Frage des sozialen Friedens und der Gerechtigkeit, dass alle Institutionen, Vereine und Verbände nicht umhinkommen, sich ihrer Verantwortung für Verbrechen zu stellen, die sie bei einem sensibleren Umgang hätten verhindern oder zumindest eindämmen können!

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart.

I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.

I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.

I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image, and the breath of that universal love which bears and sustains us, as it floats around us in an eternity of bliss; and then, my friend, when darkness overspreads my eyes, and heaven and earth seem to dwell in my soul and absorb its power, like the form of a beloved mistress, then I often think with longing, Oh, would I could describe these conceptions, could impress upon paper all that is living so full and warm within me, that it might be the mirror of my soul, as my soul is the mirror of the infinite God!

O my friend — but it is too much for my strength — I sink under the weight of the splendour of these visions!
