I wrote about @ernesturtasun and @HNeumannMEP’s initiative for 🇪🇺#FeministForeignPolicy.
Beyond female representation, we need to make sure that #FFP is intersectional, transformative and interdependent.
We must keep pushing to make it greener, anti racist and more democratic👇

#CSW65 was challenging norms, transforming habits, changing laws, taking action and inspiring others to create a world without gender discrimination. 📣 #GenerationEquality

What is the #IstanbulConvention on #ViolenceAgainstWomen and why is it important?

[Council of Europe Women empowerment & equality @CoE_Women]

From the Secretary General on #IstanbulConvention #endVAW

[Feminist Encounters @FemEncounters]

To put an end to #GBV and #VAWG @GOVUK  must commit to a coordinated framework that provides an #intersectional and #transformative approach to ensure #GenderEquality.

Ratifying the #IstanbulConvention is not a panacea, but it's a great place to start! And it must be done NOW!

[Feminist Encounters @FemEncounters]

With #SarahEverard's case, it might be worth remembering that the UK hasn't yet ratified the #IstanbulConvention to end #ViolenceAgainstWomen

But what is the #IstanbulConvention? And why is the non-ratification of the UK so problematic? [THREAD]

Again, they fail to recognise the rights of ALL

👉 Only 418 shelter spaces across England for BAME women

Here are some testimonies that @lawrsuk gathered from migrant women and domestic abuse in the UK 👇

[Latin American Women's Rights Service - LAWRS @lawrsuk]

Today the Government has the opportunity to make the #DomesticAbuseBill truly transformational and
to enshrine #ProtectionForAll survivors, regardless of their immigration status. #StepUpMigrantWomen
