Sexual violence against women is not a private matter - it's a societal problem.
The new EU Directive on combating violence against women & domestic violence will protect women from rape and encourage consensual sex.
There is no equality without consent.

Estonia: As of 33% of the votes counted, the liberal E200 (→RE) enters the national parliament for the first time.

Europe Elects expects this will be confirmed by the final count.

E200 failed to enter the national and the EU Parliament in 2019. #valimised2023

Our aim is to empower #EqualityBodies to enforce equality legislation through a binding set of legal standards.

We must ensure that all persons across the EU enjoy a common level of protection against discrimination, with rights to redress.

What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women: #10. Realise that virtually every woman you know has experienced some kind of violence or abuse. Been touched or groped when they didn’t want it. Been pressured into sex. Been followed or stalked.

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women: #13. Realise that the men who abuse and coerce women are *ordinary* men. Men *you know*. Not a tiny minority of mad bad men, but a large number of everyday men in the community.

[Halliki Voolma @HallikiVoolma]

Spoke about economic violence against women with a dynamic group @ the #InternationalDaytoEliminateVAW event of Des Livres sur les Pirogues led by @Elozi_Lomponda. 🙏🏼for the invite and great discussion 🧡 @EuropeanWomen @PilleTp @WAVE_europe

[Halliki Voolma @HallikiVoolma]

The EU scores 68.6 out of 100 in the 2022 Gender Equality Index (mostly based on 2020 data). An improvement of just 0.6 points, driven by the domain of power (gender equality in economic + political decision-making). #EGEF2023 @EuropeanWomen @CambridgeGender @EU_Commission

[Halliki Voolma @HallikiVoolma]

Gender equality is part of the solution to crises, it does not swell crises. @CarlienScheele opening #EGEF2022 in Brussels this morning. Great to see so many colleagues from across the EU in person again! @eige_eu @EU_Commission

[Tara Patricia Cookson @tpcookson]

Can #socialprotection systems address gender-based violence? If so, how?

I'll present findings from a comprehensive review of the evidence with @Ladysmith & @UN_Women Oct 13, registration below 🤓 #genderequality #genderdata #SDG5 @dfat @ANROWS
