- I want a Europe that protects and supports those fighting for Human Rights globally. Therefore I have started an initiative to ensure that visa regulations are revised in favour for human rights defenders. I am part of a task force and have provided a platform in Brussels for many who cannot raise their voice at home.
- I want a Europe that fights for just globalisation and takes companies to court that destroy living conditions elsewhere. That is why I am so glad to see that progress is being made on a due diligence legislation. And it is the reason why I am fighting arms exports hard, calling for more transparency and accountability on the kinds of weapons that leave the EU.
- I want an EU that makes sure that peace activistis and not warmongers sit at negotiation tables – and yes, 50 percent women. Our initiative report on a feminist foreign policy is in negotiations and the European Commission has signalled that it will take up a number of our demands for its Gender Action Plan.
