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.
@EU_Commission Quite ironic to name it after a city that is neither in the EU, nor under a very democratic regime
@EU_Commission I'm the only one who thinks it's ironic to name it the instanbul convention when Turkey was never allowed into EU ?
@EU_Commission is it finally enforced also to those backward members who refused to ratify it?
Fidesz, PiS and Andrew Tate are laughing - among others - their ugly a**es off.
@EU_Commission Don't forget, it goes both ways.
@EU_Commission BUT does this protect men who are victims of female violence?
