Safe(r) Space

Libelle is meant to be experienced not only as a physical but also as an emotional and social Safer Space. Here you can unfold, express and develop yourself freely, without fear of assault, discrimination or misunderstandings.

Three pillars

For everyone

Whether queer or straight, cis or trans, woman, man or beyond: you come as a person, and that is how we meet you. We don’t want to define who Libelle is for, because that would be the very opposite of open.

Respect

Every person is valued. No one is touched without being asked, a no is accepted, and what happens at Libelle stays at Libelle.

Consent

Every action, every word and every encounter is based on the explicit consent of everyone involved. Only an enthusiastic yes is a yes.

What this means in practice

Libelle actively works to ensure that all guests and everyone on the team feel not only welcome but also understood and respected. This creates an atmosphere of trust and awareness in which closeness becomes possible without anyone having to do anything.

  • You always decide for yourself what you do and what you don’t.
  • A no is accepted, without justification and without discussion.
  • Boundary violations and discrimination have consequences, up to and including a ban from the venue.

Need support?

If you feel uncomfortable, notice something or simply need a break: turn to our Awareness Team, the people at the bar or at the door. You don’t have to explain anything, we’ll take care of it.

You can also write to us after an event: awareness@libelle.at
