Hello everyone,

My name is Greta, I’m a 27-year-old single woman from Hungary, and I’ve been living and working in Germany for 3 years. I’ve always been proud of my work and of building a career abroad — but right now, my life and livelihood are under threat.

Over the past year, I’ve faced a series of unfair and discriminatory actions at my workplace. Despite consistently doing my job and raising legitimate concerns about overwork and treatment, I was ignored, isolated, and judged not for my performance, but for things like taking sick days or simply being outspoken. The company offered me raise and new job several times, without presence of HR, and I have never received either of them. When a leadership position opened, both me and my other female co-worker applied, and being actually considered, they hired an external man to the position.

Recently, my company began targeting women in my department, planning to dismantle the team entirely — while almost all new hires were men. Out of around 50 employees, only seven women remain, and five of us are now being dismissed without valid reason. This is not only unfair — it’s clear discrimination.

I have clear evidence, including company meeting transcripts, showing that management discussed firing employees for reasons like salary or illness. A lawyer has confirmed that our case is strong under German labor and anti-discrimination law — but legal representation is expensive, and my insurance won’t cover employment cases until next year.

To be able to file my case, I urgently need help to cover initial lawyer and court fees — about €2 700. This will allow me to move forward and hold the company accountable. My colleagues will also join the case, which will make our chances of success even stronger, the win is in our hands already. I am only planning to spend the money on lawyer fees.

Right now, I am also applying for new jobs, but I keep getting rejections for months now — and I am loosing my only source of income. I am in the middle of doing my driving licence-which is again not cheap-and the holidays are also coming up. I’m scared, but I know that if I stay silent, nothing will change — not for me, and not for other women who face the same injustice.

If you can, please contribute to help me afford proper legal protection and continue standing up for fairness, dignity, and equality at work.

Every single euro helps — and even sharing this page makes a difference.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support!

Greta
