The campaign aims to display the message “Wij eisen de nacht op, laat vrouwen veilig thuiskomen” along Dutch highways, highlighting urgent safety concerns for women at night. Organiser Danique de Jong initially set a modest goal of 3,500 euros but raised the target to 100,000 euros as donations poured in.

The tragic death of 17-year-old Lisa has deeply resonated beyond the Netherlands, capturing attention across Belgium as well. By 2025-08-23 14:30:00, the campaign’s momentum showed no signs of slowing, reflecting widespread calls for safer public spaces. How can such initiatives influence cross-border safety measures? And what role can Belgian communities play in supporting this cause?
Why has this campaign gained such rapid traction? It taps into a broader, urgent issue of ensuring safe environments for women after dark. The swift increase in donations suggests strong public engagement and a desire for concrete action. Key points to consider include:
- The power of grassroots fundraising in raising awareness quickly
- Cross-border solidarity in addressing women’s safety challenges
- The potential for visible messages to influence policy and public behaviour
As the campaign pushes toward its new goal, Belgian citizens and organisations are encouraged to stay informed and involved. Could your community be the next to demand safer nights? Supporting such movements may be a crucial step toward real change.
