European Women's Lobby

🎉 BREAKING NEWS 🎉

The @Europarl_EN has adopted the first-ever EU Directive to combat #VAW!

Huge thanks to all women's rights orgs, frontline activists & feminist decision-makers for their relentless perseverance!

Together, we've made herstory!

The European Women’s Lobby stands in solidarity with Iranian women and girls facing gender-based repression and deadly crackdowns as protests flare again. Women remain at the heart of #WomanLifeFreedom, paying a heavy price for dignity and equality.

Make the internet a safe space! On Human Rights Day, we honour survivors & activists.
Women’s rights are human rights, online & offline.

Femicide is extreme violence yet under-recognised. EU needs consistent data & legal definitions to protect women. Every life matters.

Consent is central. France now legally defines rape based on lack of consent. All EU states must follow, with training & harmonised laws.
Only YES means YES.
