I joined @eige_eu @EURightsAgency & @EU_Eurostat’s event on the release of new data on gender-based violence.
This research helps us make informed policies and focus attention where needed. Together, we can build a safer Europe for women & girls

#OrangeTheWorld #UnionOfEquality

[AnaGallego @AnaGallegoEU]

We have a problem with hatred in the 🇪🇺. It is toxic, it polarises our society, and it leaves us in fear. Closing the 12th meeting of the High Level Group on combating #hatespeech and #hatecrime today, I called for more openness and more tolerance.

[Helena Dalli @helenadalli]

Today we mark #IDAHOT2024.

We must create societies where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or sex characteristics can reach their full potential without fear of violence or discrimination.

I had the pleasure to welcome passengers of the first #Trainbow departing from The Hague on its destination to Brussels, together with @RHDijkgraaf, Dutch Minister of Education, Culture & Science.

Hatred against Jewish and Muslim communities is a reality.

Our message is clear: No room for hate in our society. We stand united against all forms of hatred and denigration.

In the past weeks, Europe has seen a rise in antisemitic incidents at a level reminiscent of some of the darkest moments in our history.

Hate has no place in the European
Union.

Never again is now.

We at the @EU_Commission take a clear stand: https://t.co/7n7uABKwD9

Thanks to interpreters, President @vonderleyen's #SOTEU speech was also accessible in International Sign language.
Accessibility is a precondition for equal participation of persons with disabilities.

"We have concluded files that many thought would be blocked forever, like the Women on Boards Directive and the historic accession of the EU to the Istanbul Convention". President @vonderleyen

[Helena Dalli @helenadalli]

I welcome @eu2023es and look forward to working with the Spanish Presidency to:
- unblock the Equal Treatment Directive proposal
- conclude trilogues on equality bodies
- combat #VaW & domestic violence

I thank @sweden2023eu for their work for equality over the past 6 months

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Women and girls must be able to live free from fear, violence, and everyday insecurity.

Today is a historic day in our path towards building a true #UnionOfEquality free from violence against women and girls.

Commissioner for Equality @helenadalli deposited today the instrument of the EU’s accession to the Istanbul Convention.

[Helena Dalli @helenadalli]

I thank @EP_GenderEqual @EP_Justice @FitzgeraldFrncs & @EvinIncir for their dedication & the vote in favour of our proposal on #VAW & domestic violence.
I look forward to discussing & working with @Europarl_EN & @eu2023es to reach a final & ambitious agreement.

[Marija Pejčinović Burić @MarijaPBuric]

I welcome today’s ratification by the EU of the @coe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, known as @coe “Istanbul Convention”: a very good day for Europe @helenadalli @MarieFontanel67 @SwedeninCoE

[Helena Dalli @helenadalli]

I participated to a #G7 Gender Equality dialogue on “Leveraging the Lessons learned from the pandemic”. Our Work-Life Balance Directive and our #CareStrategy are EU policy tools to empower women in the labour market.

[Helena Dalli @helenadalli]

I addressed the @SpecialOlympics Inclusive Global Development Roundtable which launched the Global Leadership Coalition for Inclusion. I will continue to promote inclusive sport + education programmes throughout the EU working closely with MSs

[Helena Dalli @helenadalli]

Honoured to meet 🇩🇪 President #Steinmeier. I congratulate Germany on hosting the @SpecialOlympics. A display of inclusion, empowerment and equality of opportunities.
#UnionOfEquality

[Helena Dalli @helenadalli]

In my keynote speech at the @SpecialOlympics Global Forum for Inclusion, I spoke on how the Special Olympics promote positive social change. The @EU_Commission supports the increased participation of persons with disabilities in sport including through @EUErasmusPlus

[Helena Dalli @helenadalli]

I am at the Opening Ceremony of the @SpecialOlympics in Berlin. The Games show us that sport is about respect, equality, solidarity, and standing united beyond borders. We have much to learn from athletes + the values they exemplify as we build a #UnionOfEquality

[Helena Dalli @helenadalli]

Delighted to meet Chancellor @OlafScholz at the opening of @SpecialOlympics in Berlin. As ever, I am pushing for the much needed #EU #EqualTreatmentDirective.
@Europarl_EN @EUCouncil @EU_Commission

[Helena Dalli @helenadalli]

Today I delivered the EU’s statement at @UN #COSP16 where I set out our efforts to promote and strengthen the rights of all persons with disabilities & implement the #UNCRPD
