We #OrangeTheWorld to end violence against women.

Gender violence is a pervasive human rights violation. It has no place in the EU, or elsewhere.

We will only live in a truly equal world when all women and girls can live their lives free of fear.

Time to resolutely wave the orange flag 🧡

Today, our headquarters in Brussels are raising an orange flag to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

We will continue to work tirelessly to stop violence against women and girls. We owe it to those who are no longer with us and to all who continue to suffer.

No, means no!

In her State of the Union, President von der Leyen highlighted the urgency of addressing gender-based violence. Here's what we're doing:

🔹 EU's Gender #Equality Plan 2020-2025: Preventing violence against women, supporting victims, holding perpetrators accountable.

🔹 Istanbul Convention: Global guidelines to end violence against #women.

We're also creating new rules for online and offline safety.

A video of President von der Leyen in Strasbourg during her State of the Union address to the European Parliament, where she emphasised the need to combat gender-based violence. Transcript: "I know this house supports our proposal on combating violence against women. Here too, I would like we cast into law another basic principle: No, means no. There can be no true equality without freedom from violence."
