Frances Fitzgerald MEP @FitzgeraldFrncs@respublicae.eu

Human Rights, Democracy, the Rule of Law-these are our European values.

They are worth fighting for & right at the very heart is #GenderEquality-not an add on, not an extra

My address to MEPs on this #IWD2022 as we stand with the Ukrainian women whose lives are being destroyed

R to @FitzgeraldFrncs: With this agreement, the crimes of FGM, forced marriage, the non-consensual sharing of intimate or manipulated material, cyber stalking, cyber harassment, the unsolicited receipt of sexually explicit material, cyber incitement to violence/hatred will herald a new era in 🇪🇺

R to @FitzgeraldFrncs: However, Member States failed in their responsibilities to protect women by refusing to include the most heinous crime of rape based on lack of consent in this Directive – my MEP colleagues and I are bitterly disappointed by this decision.

Women deserve better.

R to @FitzgeraldFrncs: In negotiations with @EU2024BE, working with, @evinincir MEP, we succeeded in securing an Article, which recognises for the first time at EU level, that rape is defined by a lack of consent by referencing the importance of preventing rape &amp; new mandatory awareness campaigns (4/8)

R to @FitzgeraldFrncs: This is not the end of this campaign but just the beginning – this Directive will act as a stepping stone for legislators to make the crime of rape based on the lack of consent an offence in the next European Parliament.

The fight continues.
