Women’s.
Right.
Are.
Not.
Negotiable.
It is high time that women enjoy the most basic of rights.
The right to be free from violence.
We welcome the agreement reached between the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on the first ever EU legislation on combating violence against women and domestic violence.→https://europa.eu/!Kx4MHw
now imagine Germany would have been not such a block to progress
@EU_Commission it Should read
Yes.means.yes
but I guess you did not ask the women
@EU_Commission Fortunately, in our company we have the opportunity to work in men-only rooms, so neither have to be careful about what we say or how we behave. No woman will ever be able to accuse us of harassment.
@EU_Commission
Oh, my...! 🤦♀️ What a fail!
@EU_Commission While it is good to see EU action on this topic, can you really say "no means no" if - to quote the Commission press release - "no agreement was found on the criminalisation of rape based on lack of consent at Union level":

@EU_Commission Women’s rights are just human rights. We are OK with assuming those rights for men but spend hours debating if women should have those same fundamental rights.
@EU_Commission Women's rights are not negotiable, except when they are. For example, when the #FDP negotiated that "only yes means yes" becomes "no means no".
@EU_Commission you just don't know what you're talking about
@EU_Commission stop killing women in Gaza then.
@EU_Commission
"Women’s.
Right.
Are.
Not.
Negotiable"
Unfortunately that works just as well, if not better, the other way. Take US conservatives as a good example. They aren't exacly willing to negotiate on abortion rights.
It would be much easier to find a left or center European politician who is willing to negotiate, thinking that a little progress is still progress and we can always try to do better next time.
@EU_Commission Women rights should be human rights. Women also exist beyond the binary. So:
LGBT and Trans rights should be human rights in the EU. No exceptions.
@EU_Commission What about men?
@EU_Commission what abiut men?
Long road ahead...
