Proud to call Maria João Rodrigues a comrade and to have fought beside her. As FEPS president, she showed what real feminist, progressive leadership looks like — principled, bold, and unafraid to challenge power.
Thank you, Maria, for your courage and your example. ✊🌹

Amid rising backlash, PES Women reaffirmed that women’s rights are human rights at our Executive Meeting 🇪🇺✊. We discussed key political developments, growing backlash against gender equality, and our 2026 working priorities.

The Istanbul Convention saves lives — and I’m glad the Catalan Parliament treats it that way. Grateful for our rich discussion.
Digital violence against women is rising fast. Women deserve safety everywhere — online and offline. ✊💜

The Universal Declaration didn’t write itself — a woman did the impossible.
Eleanor Roosevelt united democracies, communists, and decolonising nations to defend human dignity.
On Human Rights Day, remember: one woman helped build the rights we now defend. ✊🌍

I spoke yesterday at @solidar-eu.bsky.social’s 25-year-old Silver Rose Award, which honours those working for a fairer and more sustainable world.
Congratulations to this year’s two winners: former MEP Agnes Jongerius and La Vía Campesina! 🌹

PES Gender Equality ministers met yesterday under the Danish Presidency to address the growing and worrying backlash on women’s rights, fight gender-based violence, and involve men & boys in advancing equality. ✊

Great to meet @annehidalgo.bsky.social today in Paris. Her leadership shows what real politics looks like this: safer streets, greener transport, stronger support for women. When leaders act with conviction, not excuses, cities become fairer for ordinary people. ✊🌹

There’s no lasting peace without women — period.
At the Socialist International I made it clear: wars rise, anti-gender forces attack, yet women are shut out of peace talks.
When women lead, peace lasts.
Fund them. Protect them. Give them power. ✊🌹

We marched again this year, carrying the Silent Witnesses — silhouettes for women killed by violence.
Thank you to NANE, the Women for Women Together Against Violence for organising this vital protest. 💜 #StopViolence #IDEVAW

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we honour the Mirabal sisters — proof that courage is a choice, and silence is never an answer.

For the Mirabal sisters — the Mariposas — the answer was simple: refusing to look away.

The EU can’t ignore this any longer:
– unequal laws
– low convictions
– impunity
– victim-blaming
The draft report led by @joannasw.bsky.social & Evin Incir in the European Parliament sends a clear message to the Commission and Member States: the EU needs a consent-based definition of rape.

Rape laws still vary across Europe. In many countries, rape is not defined on the basis of consent - leaving survivors without justice.

With the leadership of @joannasw.bsky.social
& Evin Incir, the S&D
fights in the European Parliament for an EU-wide consent-based definition of rape.

On Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, remember Bertha Benz — the woman who completed history’s first long-distance drive and proved the future of the car. Women’s courage has always driven innovation. 👉

🇨🇿Happy Freedom and Democracy Day to Czechia. The courage shown by students and protestors in 1989 remains an inspiration — and a reminder that we must always stand up for democracy!

🇦🇱 Albania is emerging as one of Europe’s gender-equality success stories — now ranked No.1 worldwide for the smallest pay gap. This took real political courage.
I wrote about it after meeting PM @ediramaal.bsky.social in Tirana.

Albania is now one of the leading countries on gender equality — a miracle few expected, built on real courage.
Great to meet my friend and ally Edi Rama in Tirana this week. His leadership shows what real political will can achieve. ✊🌹

From today, women effectively work for free for the rest of the year — because in the EU women still earn 12.7% less than men.
This is Unequal Pay Day. Equal pay now! ✊🌹

Thousands stood with us today — as a pastor and three women MPs were charged with “violence” for protesting.
Orbán’s regime uses fear to silence dissent.
But it won’t work. We stand united for democracy and justice. ✊🇭🇺
