"Today begins a path that should have no return," says @meugeniarpalop

"There are opponents of course on the right," says @MalinBjork_EU
"They prefer to kick this into long grass, they don't care about women's rights.
"They want to restrict lives, prevent us from deciding over our bodies. We won't let you stop us."

"This is a historic milestone in fighting gender based domestic violence," says @ElenaKountoura
"It will be a huge achievement for progressive forces fighting back against those looking to stand still or backslide on women's rights."
