10th anniversary of
the Istanbul Convention:

Take action.

[2]

Dear John,

Did you know that since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, WE HAVE
SEEN A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN REPORTED CASES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN
EUROPE? 

Yesterday we marked the 10th anniversary of the Istanbul Convention - a
treaty against violence against women and domestic violence. BESIDES
VIOLENCE, WOMEN HAD TO BEAR A DISPROPORTIONATE PART OF THE COVID-19 CRISIS
BURDEN. They were more affected by family care obligations, which led to
even more unpaid and unrecognised work. This needs to change.

WE, THE EUROPEAN GREENS, FOR YEARS HAVE BEEN THE LOUDEST VOICES FOR
GENDER EQUALITY AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS. With Turkey's withdrawal from the
Istanbul Convention and Poland's plan to do the same, the ratification and
full implementation of the Istanbul Convention is today more important than
ever.

HELP US CONVINCE GOVERNMENTS THAT VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE CANNOT LONGER BE CONSIDERED A PRIVATE MATTER. TAKE CHARGE OF OUR
FEMINIST FUTURE.
