All over the world and all over the EU women are constantly facing challenges. It’s not easy to live under the pressure, knowing that gender equality is not respected. Violence against women is so widespread that it is sometimes invisible in the most apparent situations. It is high time we end this injustice once and for all.
Progressive local leaders from the Party of the European Socialists from the European Committee of the Regions and PES Women adopted the 12-action plan on combating violence against women in cities and regions to remind everyone that women & girls have the right to be safe.
We call upon local and regional authorities to adopt an ambitious plan to combat violence against women with concrete measures. Download the resolution here: https://pes.cor.europa.eu/campaign/safeplace4women
and adopt it in your local or regional council!
Every place in the European Union must be a #SafePlace4Women!
