25/06/2026 | 18:12:51 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, First, I would like to thank dear Laura for this timely and important report. It was really nice to meet you here and to be partners for women's rights and fighters for women's rights. I'm really pleased to meet you here. Dear colleagues, Gender-based violence is a scourge that has many causes, the main one being the patriarchy and the imbalance of power between women and men in the economy, in society and within the family. Such violence... 25/06/2026 | 16:21:47 Dear colleagues, Thank you very much for your all interventions and all comments and your interest on this very important matter.  I would like to recall some of the hard facts: worldwide, a woman is killed every 10 minutes dear colleagues. In Europe, one woman in three, faces partner violence. One in six, experiences sexual violence. And these are just the reported cases. Women and girls continue being abused and killed.

Dear colleagues, Gender stereotypes remain pervasive in communication and across the media landscape. Too often, women and girls are portrayed in outdated roles that belong in the past. At the same time, men continue to see their dominance in positions of responsibility reflected and reinforced. These portrayals shape perceptions and expectations in society, of course. Eliminating gender stereotypes in the media is essential for creating a more equal and inclusive... 23/06/2026 | 11:23:56 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, What we are witnessing in Türkiye today raises serious questions regarding the use of judicial processes in the political sphere. The main opposition party, its leadership and many of our elected representatives are facing an unprecedented and unacceptable level of legal and administrative pressure. This situation has generated growing concerns, both domestically and internationally, about the health of democratic institutions and the separation of...
