[Norway MFA @NorwayMFA]

#Norway is deeply disappointed about the Turkish decision to withdraw from the #IstanbulConvention. @CoE_endVAW is crucial in our common efforts to protect women and girls from violence. 
Women’s rights are human rights.

[Gender in Norway @GenderNorway]

– The decision to withdraw from the #IstanbulConvention is a step in the wrong direction, says Hilde Barstad, State Secretary for the Minister of Justice and Public Security in Norway. Norway will continue to promote the @CoE_endVAW.

[Kilden Gender Research News @genderresearch]

It is problematic to see women as counter voices to extremist politics, says professor Inger Skjelsbæk. According to her research several policy documents seem to be founded on myths about women’s and men’s roles in conflicts. @prioGPS @STK_UiO @NorwayMFA https://t.co/m2LBtqaQLq
