Today, the Istanbul Convention enters into force in our Union.

It aims at protecting women from violence and to prevent, prosecute, and eliminate it by:

🔹 training professionals in contact with victims of violence;

🔹 running awareness-raising campaigns;

🔹 empowering their police and justice system to remove perpetrators from the house.

We will only live in a truly fair and equal Union when and girls no longer live in fear of violence.
