In a statement, the Czech Bishops' Conference opposed the adoption of the #IstanbulConvention and the #legalization of marriage for same-sex couples. It believes the Convention is neither necessary nor beneficial for the #Czech Republic. #Marriage is supposedly based on the faithful union of a man and a woman. (ČBK, #DenikN)

In other words, "we don't give a sh*t about minorities, #violence on women or #humanrights. But it is important not to allow women to be priestesses."

The #IstanbulConvention is more than a treaty: it’s a lifeline for women and girls.
It defines and criminalises the various forms of #ViolenceAgainstWomen.

Women have a fundamental right to live free from violence.
With the EU ratification of the #IstanbulConvention, we take a critical first step towards a pan-European instrument to protect women against all forms of violence.

Violence against women statistics are horrifying across the EU.

Since the #IstanbulConvention, some progress has been seen.

However, more funding for those helping victims is necessary, says President of @WAVE_europe, Marcella Pirrone.
