Today, the Istanbul Convention enters into force in our Union.
It aims at protecting women from violence and to prevent, prosecute, and eliminate it by:
🔹 training professionals in contact with victims of violence;
🔹 running awareness-raising campaigns;
🔹 empowering their police and justice system to remove perpetrators from the house.
We will only live in a truly fair and equal Union when #women and girls no longer live in fear of violence.
