In addition, from 25 November to 10 December, a number of public buildings, including Luxembourg City Hall, the Grand Théâtre tower, Villa Vauban, and the Ban de Gasperich water tower will be lit up in orange. During this time, the orange "Stop violence against women" flag will fly over

Give-away of oranges with QR code: online questionnaire
From 24 to 28 November, oranges will be distributed at City Hall, the Bierger-Center, the "Leo" building, the <em>Service Intégration et besoins spécifiques</em> (Integration and Special Needs Department), the Lëtzebuerg City Bibliothèque, the Lëtzebuerg City Museum, the Théâtre des Capucins and the Luxembourg City Conservatoire: these oranges will bear a QR code directing people to an online questionnaire that helps them gauge if they are in a healthy relationship.
Spearheaded by the <em>Fondation Maison de la Porte Ouverte</em> to help people spot the red flags of a toxic relationship, this initiative aims to highlight the importance of mutual respect in loving relationships, and to promote zero tolerance of all forms of violence against women.
Every year, the City takes part in Orange Week as part of its 2023-2027 action plan for implementing municipal gender equality policy.
