A Feminist, Free, and Equal Europe isn’t a dream
It’s a mission we’re actively pursuing, and we need your help to make it a reality.
Our goal is simple yet ambitious:
To create a world where everyone has the fundamental right to live without fear of violence and where everyone has autonomy over their bodies and lives.
We are building a society where people of all gender identities, expressions and sexual orientations can authentically be themselves, free from discrimination or persecution.
But conservative, far-right, and even some liberal forces across Europe are obstructing our path to progress.
These dangerous opponents seek to roll back the rights we’ve fought so hard to secure. From Italy to Poland to Hungary, they push policies that force people into carrying unwanted pregnancies. They deny access to vital abortion and gender affirming care, and perpetuate harm against the LGBTIQ+ community.
However, the unity and resilience of feminist and LGBTQ+ movements across Europe are stronger than ever. From grassroots activism to advocacy in the European Parliament, we’re tirelessly working to safeguard our freedoms.
To achieve our vision, we drive change by:
- Rising up against gender-based violence: Leading efforts to recognise gender-based violence as a European crime, advocating for cyberviolence awareness, and pushing for resolutions addressing #MeToo. We’re proud to have played a leading role in the EU’s adoption of the first-ever directive on gender-based violence, and the EU’s ratification of the Istanbul Convention.
- Protecting sexual and reproductive rights: Defending abortion rights and sexual and reproductive health is central to our mission. This is why we are actively campaigning for abortion to be enshrined in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. We are and relentlessly working to end the forced sterilisation of women and girls with disabilities.
- Eradicating structural inequalities: Defending economic justice through the equal pay directive, and feminist leadership through the women on boards directive.
- Being relentless on defending LGBTQ+ rights: From advocating for the EU to be recognized as an “LGBTIQ Freedom Zone” to defending the rights of rainbow families in Italy, calling for the universal decriminalisation of homosexuality and transgender identity, to fighting for the rights of intersex people, we’re committed to do all we can for the equality and freedom of LGBTIQ+ individuals both within and outside the EU.
But we can’t do this alone.
We are part of a diverse community of NGOs, human rights defenders, social movements, and green actors—all working together toward a shared vision.
Only through collective action can we transform the European Union into a true Union of Equality.
