Parliament marks International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

After the opening of the session MEPs and the Commission will debate the state of play and emerging trends in the combat against violence against women in the EU and internationally. On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (25 November), they are expected to highlight the persistence of gender-based violence, call on the new Commission to act, and stress the need to tackle the growing backlash against gender equality and women’s rights. Parliament will also join the UN ‘Orange the world’ initiative and light the EP building in Strasbourg orange.
