Our network signed the open letter urging @EmmanuelMacron to take action to protect all women & girls from sexist & sexual violence. Rape is a wide-spread act of violence against women. @EUCouncil dropping it from the #VAW Directive is a scandal ! 1/

Violence against women: sex without consent is rape, say MEPs
The draft report asks for a uniform, consent-based definition of rape in the EU, tougher rules on cyber violence, and improved support for victims #VAW #VAWG

Violence against women must be criminalised everywhere and punished equally across Europe.
Thank you to @RuhamaAgency &amp; @Saoirsewr17 for sharing their perspective with me on why we need an EU wide Directive to combat #VAW
Supporting frontline services is a priority 🇪🇺 https://n.respublicae.eu/EPPGroup/status/1671468320607064065

I participated in a @EDF, @MaltaUNMission, and @UNESCWA side event on forced sterilization of persons with disabilities + promoting #SRH rights. The EU is committed to combatting #VAW and we expect our Directive on Combatting Violence against Women to be adopted later this year

RT @EuropeanWomen: "1 in 3 women in Europe have faced some type of physical and/or sexual violence. Women's rights are human rights, and that needs to be clear to everyone. The European Parliament will fight to strengthen the Directive on #VAW and protect women across the EU." - MEP @evinincir https://t.co/5lLza31NzW

🗣️| Human Rights Defenders stand up for our democracies & we must protect them.

In my work on the new EU Directive on #VAW I have proposed that violence against Human Rights Defenders should be an aggravating circumstance.
