EU Parliament urges protection of women’s rights against global backlash
Brussels, 19 December 2024 – Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have issued a press release calling on the European Union (EU) to take a leading role in defending women’s rights against a “global backlash.”
The call comes in response to growing concerns about the erosion of women’s rights in many parts of the world. In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile cases of violence against women, restrictions on reproductive rights, and discrimination in the workplace.
The MEPs warn that these trends are part of a broader backlash against women’s rights that is being fueled by conservative and fundamentalist forces. They say that the EU must not remain silent in the face of this backlash, but must instead take a strong stand in defense of women’s rights.
The press release calls on the EU to do the following:
- Denounce all forms of violence against women and girls
- Promote and protect sexual and reproductive rights
- Combat discrimination against women in all spheres of life
- Support women’s organizations and movements
- Engage with other countries and international organizations to promote women’s rights
The MEPs say that the EU has a “moral obligation” to protect women’s rights. They say that the EU is a beacon of hope for women around the world, and that it must continue to lead the way in promoting gender equality.
The press release is a timely reminder of the importance of women’s rights. The EU must continue to be a strong and vocal advocate for women’s rights, both at home and abroad.
