Femicide

The EuroLat Parliamentary Assembly calls for effective action to end femicide.

The 7th Conference on Feminicide took place March 6 2014 in Brussels, Belgium.

This project aims to provide support for vulnerable women and children in East Jerusalem and raise public awareness for their situation.

Proposals for analysis and monitoring of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights' "Cotton Field" Case sentence, regarding human rights violations committed by the Mexican State.

The purpose of the 6th Conference on Femicide/Feminicide was to identify the content that should be included in the new space for dialogue between the EU and CELAC on gender issues.

The conference took the opportunity to assess the current situation in Latin America and the implications of EU policies in this regard, and to formulate demands for concrete measures to be taken by EU institutions that are required to tackle feminicide in an effective and coherent manner. The main task of the Strategy Meeting that followed the fourth conference on feminicide in the European Parliament on 3 March 2011 was to define concrete activities to be undertaken in the period before the next EU and Latin American and Caribbean Summit that took place in Santiago de Chile in June 2012.

In November 2009, the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament and the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union organised the 2nd conference on Feminicide and a Strategy Meeting.
