WE WANT TO FEEL SAFE
We all want to feel safe. To wear whatever we want without getting attacked. To walk fearlessly in the streets alone at night. We want a world free of violence, especially of violence that’s triggered just because of your gender identity or expression, or because of who you are.
GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE- A SHADOW PANDEMIC?
Gender-based violence is a human rights violation that affects 1 out of 3 Europeans.
Plus, the COVID lockdown measures have made the pre-existing problems even worse.
Cases of gender-based physical, psychological and sexual violence have increased across Europe, in what the United Nations has called a “shadow pandemic”.

HOW CAN WE END GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE?
The European Commission has the power to draft a law that would oblige European governments to put an end to this form of violence.
We need to convince the European Commission to propose a comprehensive directive to prevent, respond to and end gender-based violence online and offline, across the whole EU.
OUR DEMANDS
We want to put an end to this systematic form of violence by:
- Adopting a comprehensive, inclusive EU directive against gender-based violence
- Supporting civil society activists throughout Europe in their pursuit for a feminist future
