The pandemic has highlighted how widespread violence against women and domestic violence, as well as the related gender inequality, still are in Europe. To actively counteract this, Liechtenstein joined the Istanbul Convention on... 23/06/2021 | 12:35:53 President, Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to address the Parliamentary Assembly today on behalf of the Liechtenstein delegation.
