21/11/2025 - Standing Committee Current affairs debate on 'Citizens’ mobilisation in the defence of human rights and democracy: recent developments in Latvia' 03/10/2025 - Session Sexual violence against men and boys must be recognised and addressed, says PACE 11/09/2025 - Equality and Non-Discrimination PACE committee calls for action to make sexual violence against men and boys visible and to support victims
03/10/2025 | 11:00:42 Yes, thank you very much everyone who made the comments supporting many of the points addressed. Also, more broadly in the report, there's actually a lot of extra suggestions that I didn't take time to fully uncover, including creating these campaigns to break the silence and normalise conversation about violence against men and boys. There was also a good case for gathering more information and more data, because of course, in this report we had a very broad look, while in many cases the... 03/10/2025 | 10:39:13 Thank you, Chair. Dear colleagues, it is an honour to stand here today to open a debate on a topic that the Council of Europe is addressing for the first time: sexual violence against men and boys. I feel it is necessary to start with the following. We all know that women and girls are disproportionately affected by sexual violence and rape, which are forms of gender-based violence.

And while understandable on a private level in our society where people sometimes simply want to have a moment of peace in a world of multi-crises, the governments, the politicians have a responsibility to face the challenges, not to run away from them. Long Covid is one of those challenges. A lot of our colleagues tend to ignore it... 29/01/2025 | 17:07:34 There is a lot of shared history between Latvia and Georgia. This has created a special connection between our societies – culturally and politically. Among other reasons it is because of this special connection, I stand here to support this report and the measures proposed here.

I strongly condemn the...
