Apr 05, 2023 10:00 AM - 11:59 PM Zoom Violence Against Women in Europe: a Gender Equity Series talk The adoption of the Istanbul Convention (Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence or IC) represents an important achievement in promoting gender equity. The IC entered into force in 2014 and was signed by the EU in June 2017.

This webinar takes stock of advancements in Europe, raising critical issues that have emerged in recent years but also remaining challenges.
