In deze autogarage in Sint-Gillis verrijst binnenkort een nieuwe klimaal van maar liefst 2000m². https://t.co/d5Xuh6Pmod verleende hiervoor de stedenbouwkundige vergunning in de lente. De werken starten weldra. De eigenaar wil volgende zomer openen. ✨🧗🏽🌇

Today we are one step closer towards a 🇪🇺 free of violence against women.
The new Directive on combating violence against women & domestic violence enters into force, aiming to end gender-based violence.
Let’s make Europe a safe & equal space ↓

Vandaag is het Equal Pay Day. De loonkloof v/m bedraagt nog steeds 21%. En dat heeft veel te maken met het taboe rond lonen. Mensen halen rare toeren uit als hen wordt gevraagd hoeveel ze verdienen. @mortierbrigade@CzarBrussels#EqualPayDay https://t.co/hEsUOAdEIS @equalpaydayBE
💰 Financial independence and #genderequality.
👫 It’s complex and deep rooted.
Not all women who have jobs have access to their money.
But even those who do, face a widening #genderpaygap with age, resulting in the gender pension gap.
Spain, Belgium and Hungary, currently the Presidency trio, reaffirm their commitment to advancing gender equality. A joint declaration, symbolically signed today, outlines seven commitments.
➡️ Up to the next trio Poland, Denmark and Cyprus to continue the work.

Will affordable living in Brussels become an illusion? Not if it is up to me.
We risk ending up like Paris or London, where nurses, catering staff, teachers and police officers are pushed out by high rents. It is so important that we stop this evolution.

#IstanbulConvention enters into force for the EU on 1 October. With this, the EU officially:
☑️Recognises that #ViolenceAgainstWomen is a violation of human rights
☑️Renews & deepens its commitment to preventing violence, protecting/supporting victims & prosecuting perpetrators
International #EqualPay Day
As President @vonderleyen said in her #SOTEU speech, there is not a single argument why for the same type of work, a woman should be paid less than a man. With the new Directive on #PayTransparency we have cast this basic principle into EU law.
No means no.
Let's cast this principle into law.
In her #SOTEU address, President @vonderleyen stressed the need to combat gender-based violence.
Here's what we're working on:
✅ EU Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025
✅ The signing of the Istanbul Convention

Getting closer to a Directive on combating #ViolenceAgainstWomen & domestic violence.
@EUCouncil adopted a General Approach on @EU_Commission's proposal.
We hope more Member States join 🇧🇪🇮🇹🇬🇷🇱🇺's call to criminalise rape based on lack of consent of the victim.
I welcome @EUCouncil 's General Approach on proposed Directive on combating #ViolenceAgainstWomen & domestic violence.
I now call on @Europarl_EN & all MSs to ensure that final Directive criminalises rape based on lack of consent of the victim
I thank @sweden2023eu for their work
Today the EU is acceding to the #IstanbulConvention. We can only have a #UnionOfEquality when all women & girls can live free from fear and violence.

Today is my last day with @UN_Women. I am forever grateful for 5 incredible years. Despite multiple crisis & concerning situations like Afghanistan, we pushed gender equality globally and can see measurable difference.
