#VAW day :Adopt the resolution and declare your city or region a #SafePlace4Women on Tuesday 25 November!
Hello everyone,
Ahead of the international day for the elimination of violence against women on Tuesday 25 November, we would like to invite you to adopt the resolution to combat violence against women and declare your city or region a #SafePlace4Women on that day!
Across Europe, Young Elected Politicians are turning their commitment to gender equality into concrete action in their cities and regions. To name just a few, from Alessandra De Medici in Ustalla, to Marco Nino Portschy in Austria, Sebastian Van Der Bas in Oss, Marco Mancuso in Vercelli, Justin Hermes in Rhenen and Giacomo Mosca in Jesi, young progressive local leaders are helping make the #SafePlace4Women campaign a growing movement across Europe.
Their initiatives show that local and regional leaders can make a real difference in the fight against violence against women. Ahead of 25 November, we invite you to follow their example and take action in your own city or region by adopting the resolution and declaring it a #SafePlace4Women.
Making our cities and regions safer places is possible!

Discover here examples of the media impact of our campaign in our Instagram Highlights.
Here is also an example of the strong media impact of the campaign in Ostuni, Italy, where, that to our YEP Rosalinda Giannotti, the adoption of Safe Place for Women was covered by major Italian media outlets, including la Repubblica and Vanity Fair Italia.
Every adoption counts. Together, we can turn local commitments into concrete action, amplify our message and build a stronger European movement for safer places for all women. 💜
