Quote from the European Parliament's Chair of Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality Lina Gálvez reading 'Anti-gender narratives claim that feminism has gone too far, but the reality is that we haven't even arrived yet'.

Online harassment isn’t just "part of the internet."

It’s a tool to silence people, especially women.

Ahead of International Women's Day, this is what @femm.europarl.europa.eu Chair @linagalvez.eu had to say today in an event at the European Parliament 👇

For all those who want the people of Iran to bask in light rather than remain shrouded in darkness;

Now, Iran must be free.

For all the victims of the proxies of terror that the regime trained, financed, supplied and supported as they murdered thousands across the Middle East and the world over the last two generations;

For all those for whom the struggle for freedom is not political or a cause célèbre but existential;

For women, life, liberty. For Jina Mahsa Amini. For every voice forever silenced; 

For every son summarily hanged from a crane in a public square;

For every innocent European held hostage in horrific conditions by the terrorists in the IRGC;

For all those mothers forced to comb through bloody basements piled high with the bodies of innocents as they searched for loved ones; 

For the generations of Iranians who had to flee their homes and live in exile;

For every political prisoner tortured, executed or unjustly imprisoned;

The end of the Ayatollah must signal the end of the age of dictators in Iran. After 47 years, it must be time for freedom.

For all those murdered, executed and forcibly disappeared;

For all those children made to grow up in fear of the regime's shackles;

25 years ago, the Treaty of Nice was signed, laying the foundations for the EU’s biggest enlargement, increasing the European Parliament to 732 seats and boosting its legislative powers.

A milestone in strengthening European democracy.

The people of Iran have been under the boot of a forceful theocracy for as long as I’ve been alive, living under a regime that refuses to tolerate dissent or liberty.

47 years is too long to scream in silence. No new generation of Iranians should inherit fear as birthright.

Iran must be free.

But that's not all.

Parliament wants an action plan to end homelessness across the EU by 2030, specifically for children and families, workers who have lost their jobs, and women.

They also want to:

🛑 tackle child poverty, which affects one in four European children
🛑 ensure equal pay for equal work, while ensuring EU countries work towards full employment
🛑 fight for universal access to housing, food, water, sanitation, energy, and transport for all EU citizens.

Infographic stating that 21% of the EU population was at risk of poverty or social exclusion in 2024. A pie chart over a coin illustration represents the share of people affected. The graphic highlights that 93.3 million people are at risk of poverty, including 19.5 million children. Source: Eurostat (ilc_peps01n). The European Parliament logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Poverty is a violation of human dignity.

And the European Parliament is calling to eradicate it by 2035.

Members are calling on the Commission to develop an ambitious anti-poverty strategy.

That means no safe haven for those responsible for heinous crimes against Iranian protesters. It means their funds in Europe will be frozen. And it prohibits Europeans from making any funds available to them.

It is the right step and the right signal. It is not business as usual.

The European Union has now officially designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of the Iranian regime as a terrorist organisation.

Two Members of the European Parliament speak at a press backdrop with the Parliament logo visible behind them. On the left, Lena Düpont is shown with the quote: “This new set of rules will help EU countries take a decision as early as possible whether an asylum claim is clearly inadmissible or not.” She is identified as lead member on the safe third country concept. On the right, Alessandro Ciriani appears with the quote: “Today asylum decision procedures are extremely slow and different from country to country. Common rules will allow us to be more effective.” He is identified as lead member on the EU list of safe countries of origin.

Asylum is a human right.

The EU wants to use its resources wisely. New rules on safe countries will help EU countries process asylum requests faster, reducing backlogs and protecting those fleeing danger.
