I have the honour of attending the commemoration of #IWD2023 at the #CSW67 with the excellent delegation of the @EP_GenderEqual. Fighting for gender equality is a task for us all, because at the end of the day, we all benefit and thrive in gender-equal societies!

Good to be back in Ukraine.
With those brave people who inspired the world.

With Europeans whose home is in our European Union.

RT @EP_President: Appalled by the sentencing of Nobel Peace Prize and Sakharov Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski to 10 years in prison.
Politically motivated rulings against Bialiatski and @viasna96 activists are an insult to justice.
I call for their release. @europarl_en supports a free Belarus.

Honoured to meet @RepEscobar from El Paso, inspiring leader working for a humane migration management.
At a time when xenophobic forces try to criminalise migrants, we will work together to protect the most vulnerable & build on opportunities to compensate our ageing population.

I welcome the Windsor Framework on the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland.

Great exchange with US Senator @ChrisMurphyCT. 🇺🇸🇪🇺
Our transatlantic partnership is crucial, not only in our firm support to Ukraine but also to ensure we address citizens’ concerns regarding jobs, the climate emergency and tackling growing inequalities.

The tragedy off the coast of Crotone leaves me angry and heartbroken.
Another shipwreck claims the lives of babies, women, men.
Member States must step up and find a way forward. Now.
The EU needs common, updated rules that allow us to address migration challenges. 1/2
