Deputy Ombudsman Teresa Anjinho participates in the high-level conference organised by the Portuguese Presidency of the European Union to mark the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Istanbul Convention.

 

The conference, which will take place on April 6th, 2021, proposes to take stock of the ten years of the Convention, including an analysis of the advances and setbacks, the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the responses to new forms of violence against women, in line with the European Union’s fundamental priority of ending all forms of violence against women and girls.
