It's time the #EU condemns France's escalating persecution against Muslim people and anti-racism human rights defenders.

Thread below 👇🏾on how France is attacking the rights and freedoms of Muslim people.
Last week, two French Ministers attacked the EU Commissioner for Equality Helena Dalli for meeting with Muslim student youth organisation FEMSYO.

The issue?

Telling the Commissioner about their experience of Islamophobia and outright hate in Europe.

An example of the racism FEMSYO faced was during the European Youth event.

Far-right students harassed FEMSYO representatives, even screaming "Europe is white and Christian".

“EU gender equality strategy is a missed opportunity to address structural and interconnected discrimination & inequalities. It again shows how overlooking race – & especially racialised women – in policies totally undermines the potential of the concept” says @KMTaylorBerlin Image
ENAR welcomes the #EU gender equality strategy.

However, racialised women must be at the centre of equality policies for them to be truly intersectional.

Women in Europe must be free from violence and harmful stereotypes. ✋
We call for legal measures to criminalise violence against women, including sexual harassment, abuse, and female genital mutilation.
Platforms should address online violence against women.
#UnionOfEquality
Let women thrive at work and get an innovative and competitive EU economy. 💼
We launch a public consultation on pay transparency & will table binding measures this year. We will double on our efforts to enforce EU standards on work-life balance.
