The EU must now stop violence against women

"The EU must now stop violence against women"

"the Debaters: It goes too slowly – we want to see a Metoo-directive"

"This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against."

"the DEBATE. Peace, freedom, and feminism. It is what we socialist women demonstrating on the First of may and they are our priority issues for the european Parliament elections on 26 may. For Europe needs more peace, freedom, and feminism. It would citizens in all European countries will be the winners."

"The absolute most brutal expression of gender inequality is men's violence against women. It is a democratic problem, an equality problem and a criminal problem – a problem for the entire society."

"In a large survey among EU member states, russia was the third woman that she has been subjected to physical ochu002Feller sexual violence during their adult lives. At the same time, a fraction of the total large, just a little more than every tenth woman has been reported to the police the most serious incident."

"in recent decades it has become increasingly clear that the successes we have seen for gender equality and women's rights can't be taken for granted. "

"Each generation must defend and regain equality. If that happens, women's rights and opportunities to be challenged and restrained. It is clear that the fight needs to be taken both in Sweden and in the EU."

"Within the council of europe has a convention against men's violence against women was drawn up – the istanbul convention. Stating that men's violence against women must be prevented in order to achieve gender equality. Still, it is seven of the EU's 28 member states who have not placed themselves behind it. Sweden endorsed the same day it was presented."

"Men's violence against women – whether it is physical, psychological or sexual violence, if it occurs in a relationship or of a few who had never met before – restricts and prevents women's freedom. "

"the istanbul convention is taking too long to get in place, therefore, we socialists see a EUROPEAN directive against violence against women. So ensuring women's security, the EU's fundamental values and the EU get bigger muscles to ensure that violence against women is resisted in all EU member states."

"at the same time men's violence against women is not limited to the home. More than every other woman in the EU has become a victim of sexual harassment. Was the third reported that the perpetrator was a boss, colleague or client."

"the Change must occur in both the home and in the workplace. Therefore, we socialists see a metoo directive in the EU – so that women do not have to be exposed to sexual harassment and abuse in the workplace. "

"the EU's work has long been neglected. In order to achieve workplaces free from sexual harassment, the legal framework should be strengthened. A central part of the directive must be to overcome the abuses we see of the confidentiality agreement. Employers in the EU must take full responsibility for dealing with sexual harassment."

"every third woman in the EU does not have a job and Europe has the most highly skilled homemakers in the world – then adds to the insecurity and women's freedom is restricted. We socialists know that there is safety on the job and in the home are linked together. We have a policy to meet the inequality, in Sweden as well as in the EU."

"Sweden is a pioneer when it comes to gender equality. We have great challenges at home, but also a long tradition of men's violence against women seriously. EU member states have much to learn from the Swedish model. "

"On 26 may, it is we together that determines which direction the EU should take. Vote for peace, freedom and feminism – tick S-woman."
