25 November – <\/strong>In 2017, Vera Jourov\u00e1, European Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality<\/a>, took the initiative to dedicate one year to ending violence against women, putting combating gender-based violence high on the EU agenda through a \u2018year of focused actions\u2019.<\/p>\n

Across the EU, many different initiatives<\/a> were launched, including training health, legal, and education professionals or young people, or working with communities, local councils, and many other organisations to reduce the risk of violence<\/a> taking place and support women who have been affected. At EU level, the NON.NO.NEIN. campaign<\/a> (#SayNoStopVAW) was launched to share information and showcase success stories about the important work done in this field across the EU. More than an awareness-raising campaign, this initiative was aiming to support, engage and connect all stakeholders in combatting this challenge. Some examples of the EU-funded projects working to end violence against women can be seen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As that year is coming to a close, it is time to look at what has been achieved and discuss the steps forwards. As such, the European Commission is hosting a high-level conference<\/a> on 4 December 2018, in Brussels, for representatives from Member States and international organisations, civil society actors and activists, to look at the achievements done so far and discuss the strategic co-operation between EU institutions, EU Member States, International Organisations, NGOs, and academics in combatting violence against women and the impact of the EU’s actions to combat gender-based violence.<\/p>\n

From a nursing perspective<\/a>, consisting of 92% of women, it is crucial that nurses\/women have a strong voice in the design of health and social policies. Nurses\/women are ideally positioned to both lead and support such developments. Policy-makers and politicians have here a golden opportunity to ensure that the reform process addresses the challenges of the long-standing inequality between women and men, both as providers and as recipients of care. Engage nurses in the co-design of policies to reach impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
