🗓️Today marks 5⃣0⃣years since Simone Veil – #France’s then health minister who later became @Europarl_EN’s first female President - gave a groundbreaking speech in support of #ReproductiveRights. It paved the way for the Veil Act which legalised #abortion in France. #SRHR

Barrier-free and timely access to #abortioncare is particularly critical for survivors of sexual violence. Our #CareInCrisis report reveals how Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia are failing to protect and meet the #SRH needs of #Ukrainian refugees👇

Access to mandatory age-appropriate, evidence-based and scientifically accurate comprehensive sexuality education is critical to every child’s development, helping to safeguard their health & wellbeing. Policy makers across Europe must make #CSE a top priority. #WorldChildrensDay

[Center for Reproductive Rights in Europe @ReproRightsEUR]

Every child has the right to love, care and security. Access to reproductive health services empowers families, helping to break cycles of poverty which could otherwise prevent children from growing up in supportive, nurturing environments. #WorldChildrensDay

🔍 Did you know? Abortion in Germany is currently regulated under the criminal code, where it is classified as a criminal offence that is non-punishable in specific circumstances. This confusing framework fosters stigma and hinders access to essential care.

[Center for Reproductive Rights in Europe @ReproRightsEUR]

#Germany's abortion law reform bill is a critical opportunity to start bringing its outdated laws in line with modern health and human rights standards. By decriminalising abortion up to 12 weeks, German lawmakers can reduce stigma and improve access to essential healthcare.

[Center for Reproductive Rights in Europe @ReproRightsEUR]

“Today, German abortion law is rooted in an outdated legal framework that fails to meet the health needs and respect the fundamental rights of women. This legislative proposal represents an essential step forward.” – Adriana Lamačková, Assoc. Director, Europe

[Center for Reproductive Rights in Europe @ReproRightsEUR]

🚨 BREAKING: #Germany is on the brink of historic #abortion law reform! A cross-party coalition of MPs has introduced a bill to fully legalise abortion on request up to 12 weeks. An important step for women's autonomy and health.

UPDATE 🎉 In #Germany, 100m #SafeAccessZones around abortion care facilities have come into effect. The measure will guarantee legal protection for patients and medical staff from harassment and intimidation by anti-abortion groups. #AbortionIsHealthcare

[Center for Reproductive Rights in Europe @ReproRightsEUR]

The threat of massive cuts to funding for #ReproductiveRights worldwide (the so-called “global gag rule”) is a stark reminder to us all that the risk of rollbacks is real.

Now more than ever, we must intensify our efforts to continue strengthening and protecting #SRHR for all.

[Center for Reproductive Rights in Europe @ReproRightsEUR]

People across the #EU face devastating consequences due to restrictive #abortion laws. Whether in Poland, Malta, Hungary or Italy, bans and harmful barriers hinder access to #abortioncare. Take action! Convince 1⃣ person to sign the @MVMC_24 initiative.

The Center’s Adriana Lamačková took part in a panel discussion on the ever-critical importance of #ReproductiveRights. It followed the screening of a film depicting the impact of Romania’s abortion ban during the Ceaușescu regime. You can watch it here:

We were honoured to be among the partners of this year’s @alegromania's Gender Equality Festival in Sibiu, #Romania 🌸 Created primarily for young people, the event's purpose is to raise awareness around women's and human rights, and to tackle stereotypes and prejudice.

Amid ongoing investigations against #abortion health care providers in #Poland, the recent @UN CEDAW recommendations are clear: the state must immediately halt all abortion-related investigations & prosecutions.

#Poland 's resubmitted bill to partially decriminalise #abortion has passed its first reading in the Sejm. This is hopefully the first step to finally align Poland’s legislation with @WHO guidelines & intl human rights recommendations for comprehensive abortion law reform. #SRHR
