On November 22, 2023, at 17:00 CET, ASSEDEL, in collaboration with the second vice president of the European Parliament, Ms. Pina Picierno, proudly hosted a momentous movie screening event and a cocktail reception at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, in the distinguished setting of Room “Louise Weiss N 2.1.”
ASSEDEL, a leading advocate committed to combating violence against women and domestic violence, embarked on a journey to shine a bright light on the vital “Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on combating violence against women and domestic violence.” The event was not just a screening; it was a powerful initiative aimed at raising awareness and understanding of this pivotal Directive, which holds the key to eradicating violence against women and domestic violence within the European Union.
At the heart of this event was the screening of the poignant documentary, “Mimosa.” This film masterfully conveyed the profound importance of the Directive and its potential to transform the lives of women across Europe. It served as a poignant reminder that our commitment to combating violence against women and domestic violence must remain steadfast, and it urged us all to persist in our efforts.
L'ASSEDEL est très fière d'avoir organisé cet événement, qui a non seulement permis de mieux faire connaître la directive, mais qui a également contribué de manière significative à l'effort continu pour sauvegarder les droits et le bien-être des femmes en Europe. Nous remercions chaleureusement Mme Pina Picierno et le Parlement européen pour leur soutien et leur collaboration qui ont permis de faire de cet événement un succès. Ensemble, nous prenons l'engagement solennel de travailler sans relâche à l'avènement d'une Europe où la violence à l'égard des femmes et la violence domestique appartiennent à l'histoire et où chaque femme peut vivre une vie exempte de peur et de violence.
