Surrogacy : the @EUCouncil strengthens rules.
The Council adopted today a Directive that adds the exploitation of surrogacy as a form of exploitation covered by the EU’s anti-trafficking law.

The 27 member states now have two years to ban surrogacy in their domestic law. ⚖️
Let us remain vigilant so that this legislation is effectively implemented and not forgotten ! 👀
#StopSurrogacyNow
With an overwhelming majority, the European Parliament adopted the revision of Directive 2011/36/EU: surrogacy is clearly mentioned there as trafficking in human beings.
This is a historic victory for women's rights! 🤰👍
#StopSurrogacyNow
This is the very first time that an EU binding legislation officially states that surrogacy must be fought as exploitation of human beings.

Adopted! With 563 votes in favor the Directive of the @europarl has been adopted and surrogacy will be included as a minimum case of #Humantrafficking
At 2.30 pm @maurel_olivia and @GarciaLarrain hosted by @fxbellamy will speak about our fight for the Abolition of surrogacy
On #March8, EFF thanks all mothers and mothers-to-be for their dedication, patience and love.
Mothers make future citizens. Mothers make the future.

The past mandate of Ursula @vonderleyen will be remembered as having put forward the European Certificate of Parenthood, which greatly eases reproductive exploitation of women and the risks of child trafficking.
Let us hope the EU will protect women's rights more in the future.
Fascinating report on child allowances and fertility.
France cut child allowances for wealthy couples in 2014, which lead to a marked drop in their fertility, especially among parents who already had kids.
Another case of a predator who procured a child via surrogacy for the purpose of exploitation.
Single German man pays 60K Euros, sexually abuses baby from age 2-3, gets 5 years in prison.
Easy peasy w zero background checks and cross-border movement.

"I was born via surrogate... but from Day One there was no bond with my mother. [...] This cruel and immoral practice should be banned."

Europe for Family calls the @EUCouncil to refuse the creation of a vast surrogacy market and to withdraw the plans to ease #surrogacy by creating alternative administrative documents (known as 'Certificates of Parenthood') aimed at circumventing family law.
Press Release : the EU did not authorise same-sex filiation
Today the @Europarl_EN approved the proposal of regulation on 'cross-border recognition of parenthood'.
@EU_Commission The EU Justice Commissioner @dreynders acknowledged that this initiative would have an impact on #surrogacy business, which is recognised as a traffic of human beings.

@EU_Commission@dreynders 🚩To protect the children against such trafficking, the "European Certificate of Parenthood" initiative must be STOPPED at the plenary session next month by the Members of the @Europarl_EN.
#WorldChildrensDay
Today we celebrate #WorldChildrensDay. 👨👧👦👩👧👦
Even in the EU the rights and freedom of children are not safe : the initiative of the @EU_Commission creating a so-called "European Certificate of Parenthood" will greatly ease the business of #surrogacy and child trafficking.
