Brussels – The European Commission and High Representative/Vice President call for increased measures to safeguard women and girls from violence.
Before the 25 November International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the European Commission and the Vice President issued a statement condemning all forms of blank” rel=”noopener”>violence against women, describing them as a violation of human rights that undermines core values.
They stated that women worldwide continue to endure various forms of violence—physical, sexual, psychological, and economic – both offline and online. They highlighted that women and girls disproportionately suffer the immediate and lasting effects of war and conflict, leading to increased economic hardship. The situation is particularly severe in humanitarian crises, where conflict-related sexual violence and human trafficking often remain unreported.
How does the new EU law address domestic violence?
They noted that following the EU’s accession to the Istanbul Convention, the EU adopted its first-ever law this year to effectively combat violence against women and domestic violence, complementing existing legislation in Member States. The law provides additional tools to address violence, both offline and online, ensuring women and girls can live safely and without fear. It also aims to offer targeted support services for victims and ensure accountability for perpetrators. They called on all Member States to swiftly implement these robust measures.
What role does the EU play in global gender equality efforts?
They emphasized that ending violence against women globally is a key priority for the EU’s external action, particularly given its role as a major humanitarian donor. They reaffirmed their strong commitment to the immediate eradication of violence against women and girls, working in collaboration with partner countries, civil society, women’s rights groups, and human rights defenders.

Looks like the EU’s finally got its act together—after how many decades? At this rate, by the time they actually implement these measures, we’ll have flying cars and a reality TV show about world peace. 🙄🚀

Oh, splendid! Just what we needed—another EU law to remind us that women deserve basic rights. Can’t wait for the next meeting where they’ll probably debate the color of the report instead of actual change. 🙄✨

Oh great, another law to protect women’s rights—because the last hundred clearly did wonders, right? 🙄 Maybe next they’ll tackle the real issues, like why my morning coffee costs more than my monthly gym membership! ☕️💸
