If you want to get some quick insights into the work of the seven independent women’s rights mechanisms that make up the EDVAW Platform and how it relates to #Beijing30, this is a good read!

[Council of Europe Women empowerment & equality @CoE_Women]

ℹ️Ahead of #Beijing30, the EDVAW Platform releases a position paper, assessing progress & challenges in #GenderEquality.

Submitted to #CSW69, it calls for stronger legal & policy frameworks to combat #VAW & discrimination.

Consent matters.

Art. 36 of the #IstanbulConvention defines rape based on lack of consent, setting a powerful standard in criminal law.

This shift changes the conversation, ensuring that the voices of survivors are heard and valued.

Protecting survivors requires knowledge, skill, and empathy. That’s why Art. 15 of the #IstanbulConvention advocates for mandatory initial and in-service training for professionals working for and with victims of #VAWG.

A safe place can make all the difference. Art. 23 of the #IstanbulConvention emphasises the importance of domestic shelters for protection from #VAWG.

They're more than just a bed: a lifeline where survivors find safety and support as they heal and rebuild.

The various #GREVIO evaluation reports clearly show how important comprehensive policies on VAW are and how much they are needed. To me this is a key component of the #IstanbulConvention and what makes it special.

[Council of Europe Women empowerment & equality @CoE_Women]

As women and girls around the world protest for their right to safety and dignity, Art. 7 of the #IstanbulConvention reminds us that women and girls in Europe have a right to policies that address all of their experiences of #GenderBasedViolence.
