▶️First, the #EndVAW Directive
▶️Then the #EUDisabilityCard

We join European Women's Lobby's call to the European Parliament : it should adopt the #EndVAW Directive.

While it's not everything we expected, losing this opportunity might mean no Directive - and any new attempts being shelved in the future.

Patriarchy functions to keep women and girls silent about violence. Violence is not normal and no one should have to endure it. We must challenge and change cultural norms that manipulate women and girls into keeping quiet about abuse.

Challenging patriarchal norms is crucial in combating gender-based violence. Everyone deserves to live without fear of violence, and it's essential to create a culture where survivors feel empowered to speak out and seek support. #PreventGBV #EndVAW
