Rosa Antifa Wien (RAW, Austrian German: Rosa Antifa Wien für freie Liebe und Anarchie; English: Pink Antifa Vienna for Free Love and Anarchy) is an Austrian left-wing action group in existence since 1995. Their activists regularly appear at rallies and demonstrations. Their tactics include producing and distributing pamphlets and flyers. [1] [2] [3]
In 1995, a group of young activists founded RAW "simply because the homophobia predominant in our society - and sadly enough even amongst leftists - pisses us off."[ citation needed] The activists are motivated by rage against the prejudice that gays and lesbians ought to be "cured“,[ citation needed] that heterosexuality be "normal“ or "natural“. "We simply want to be able to live in relationships chosen by ourselves - without being discriminated. We want to give love to whom we want and how we like (provided our partner agrees)"[ citation needed]. This position is stated in the manifesto drawn up for the group's foundation:
RAW are present at most anti-fascist events in Austria. The activists are concerned with " racism, queer- feminism, homophobia, anti-fascism (still and forever...), also with alternative models of life and relationships, surveillance, lookism, with prohibitionism, the politics of suppression and a lot more." [4] The Viennese activists participate in demonstrations against fascism or capitalism in Austria like the manifestation against Austria's national holiday, the walks against poverty, the demonstrations No one is illegal, the " Feminist actions against Christian fundamentalism“ in Salzburg or at the Rainbow Parade in Vienna.[ citation needed]
Previously, RAW was located at the Ernst Kirchweger Haus in Vienna. The organization is a member of the International Antifascist Network for Research and Action.
