There’s no lasting peace without women — period.
At the Socialist International I made it clear: wars rise, anti-gender forces attack, yet women are shut out of peace talks.
When women lead, peace lasts.
Fund them. Protect them. Give them power. ✊🌹

We marched again this year, carrying the Silent Witnesses — silhouettes for women killed by violence.
Thank you to NANE, the Women for Women Together Against Violence for organising this vital protest. 💜 #StopViolence #IDEVAW

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we honour the Mirabal sisters — proof that courage is a choice, and silence is never an answer.

For the Mirabal sisters — the Mariposas — the answer was simple: refusing to look away.

Great to catch up with Dina Loghin, President of the @EuropeanWomen— I’ve known her for over two decades, always dedicated and inspiring.

The EU can’t ignore this any longer:
– unequal laws
– low convictions
– impunity
– victim-blaming
The draft report led by @joannasw.bsky.social & Evin Incir in the European Parliament sends a clear message to the Commission and Member States: the EU needs a consent-based definition of rape.

Rape laws still vary across Europe. In many countries, rape is not defined on the basis of consent - leaving survivors without justice.

With the leadership of @joannasw.bsky.social
& Evin Incir, the S&D
fights in the European Parliament for an EU-wide consent-based definition of rape.

On Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, remember Bertha Benz — the woman who completed history’s first long-distance drive and proved the future of the car. Women’s courage has always driven innovation. 👉

🇱🇻 Today we celebrate the courage of 1918, when the Republic of Latvia was proclaimed.

🇨🇿Happy Freedom and Democracy Day to Czechia. The courage shown by students and protestors in 1989 remains an inspiration — and a reminder that we must always stand up for democracy!

🇦🇱 Albania is emerging as one of Europe’s gender-equality success stories — now ranked No.1 worldwide for the smallest pay gap. This took real political courage.
I wrote about it after meeting PM @ediramaal.bsky.social in Tirana.

An unexpected gender equality success | Zita Gurmai
Albania is emerging as one of Europe’s most unexpected success stories in gender equality — and the data proves it.

Albania is now one of the leading countries on gender equality — a miracle few expected, built on real courage.
Great to meet my friend and ally Edi Rama in Tirana this week. His leadership shows what real political will can achieve. ✊🌹

From today, women effectively work for free for the rest of the year — because in the EU women still earn 12.7% less than men.
This is Unequal Pay Day. Equal pay now! ✊🌹

👏 Congratulations to Marko Vešligaj and everyone involved!
The EP adopted priorities for the new Strategy on Women’s Rights & Gender Equality — including a call for universal access to safe, legal abortion across the EU. ✊💜

Thousands stood with us today — as a pastor and three women MPs were charged with “violence” for protesting.
Orbán’s regime uses fear to silence dissent.
But it won’t work. We stand united for democracy and justice. ✊🇭🇺

🇵🇱🇭🇺 Poles and Hungarians have fought for their independence for centuries — often side by side, as ”dwa bratanki”.
Happy Independence Day, Poland!
May our shared spirit of solidarity and courage endure. ✊

Honoured to meet my longtime mentor, former Danish PM Poul Nyrup Rasmussen. 🇩🇰

He taught us that a stronger, fairer Europe is always worth fighting for — and he’s still doing it today through his work on mental health. 🌹🇪🇺 #Solidarity #Europe

Hungarian prosecutors want to jail us for standing with a pastor punished for helping the poor and defying Orbán.

Authoritarians rule by fear — but we won’t be silent. ✊🇭🇺 #Freedom #RuleOfLaw

🇭🇺 35 years ago we joined the Council of Europe — and chose democracy.
Orbán walked away from that choice.
The next government must bring Hungary home.

Good news from Latvia.
People spoke up, pressure worked, and the government backed off from abandoning the Istanbul Convention for now.
We stay vigilant. We keep fighting. Women's rights and safety are non-negotiable. ✊♀️

The victory of Zohran Mamdani shows the power of innovative, grassroots campaigning and a relentless focus on voters’ everyday needs. 🌹
Progressives everywhere can learn from his positive message in a gloomy political climate.

30 years ago, Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated—a tragic loss for Israel, Palestine, and all who believe in peace.
In Tel Aviv a huge crowd remembered the man who had the courage to choose dialogue over division, proving that leadership means daring to pursue peace.

🇪🇺 75 years since the ECHR was signed — a shield against tyranny and abuse of power.
Authoritarians still fear it. Citizens still need it.
Democracy survives because we defend it. ✊

👏 Huge credit to the women’s organization of PSD, Simona Bucura-Oprescu and the coalition for pushing a bold law against femicide and gender-based violence.

Protecting women’s lives is not optional — it’s a pillar of democracy. 🌹✊
