"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.

"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."
