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“.

The Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe does not understand the realities of the prostitution system

CAP International: "The Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe does not understand the realities of the prostitution system"

Open letter from fourteen organisations –CAP International, European Women’s Lobby, European Network of Migrant Women, Osez le Féminisme !, Rights4Girls, Coalition against Trafficking in Women, Swedish Women’s Lobby, SPACE InternationalFrench Coordination for the European Women’s Lobby, Bündnis Nordisches Modell, Brussels’ Call, EuroMed Feminist Initiative, the Spanish State Federation of Abolitionist Women and Intedinhora– in response to the Council of Europe’s Commissioner for Human Rights comment on prostitution: 

We, survivors-led, feminist and grassroot’ organisations, are appalled by the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights’ comment on “protecting the human rights of sex workers”, both in terms of the methodology used and of the content developed. Women and girls in prostitution deserve better that what can only be considered a disconnected piece of propaganda“.
