ENoMW Expert Statement – “Nowhere to turn for women: European elections expose betrayal from all political camps”

ENoMW Expert Statement - "Nowhere to turn for women: European elections expose betrayal from all political camps"

In the wake of the European Parliament elections, and given the crude reality that has emerged from voting results, the European Network of Migrant Women has published an Expert Statement on the new political landscape we have now in Europe.

Regarding Italy, ENoMW marks that “…Giorgia Meloni’s far-right party Fratelli d’Italia won 28%, ahead of the Democratic Party (PD) with 25% and the populist 5 Star Movement with nearly 10%. This result should enable Giorgia Melon to strengthen her influence in Brussels, where she has already managed to impose some of her priority themes, such as the fight against the influx of migrants into Europe“.

"Towards a Europe of Justice, Equality and Dignity for all women": European Network of Migrant Women's Manifesto for the 2024 European Parliament elections

“Can we tolerate the fact that one in three women in Europe is a victim of physical or sexual violence? Can we accept that women are still overwhelmingly under-represented in decision-making? That the most vulnerable are left behind by social and legal systems across the entire European Union? Should we accept as inevitable that the working poor – who are above all poor women workers – are abandoned to poverty and exploitation? Our answer to all these questions is no. On the contrary! We must demand justice, equality and dignity for everyone, all women and girls, without exception”.

As the date of the European Union elections approach, in which European Union citizens will decide on the new composition of the European Parliament, the European Network of Migrant women continues to honour its commitment and mission to creating a Europe where migrant women and girls’ specific challenges and needs are dully recognised and addressed.

For this reason, ahead of the elections, ENoMW has developed a manifesto in which it calls for change to bring to the forefront the rights of migrant women and girls in front of policy and decision-making spheres. Read more by clicking on the button below!
