We want to thank @ICChangeUK for all of their leadership and tireless campaigning to see the Istanbul Convention ratified in the UK.
We will continue to work with @SBSisters and @lawrsuk to ensure reservations around migrant women are removed.
We’ll therefore pass the baton to our sisters at @sbsisters & @LAWRSuk.
Please follow them & support them to ensure that the Government’s reservations are removed & migrant women have access to the life-saving support & protection they need. [4/5]

After the Istanbul Convention was finally ratified in 2022, looking forward to GREVIO and @UKParliament holding the UK govt accountable for delivery. Discussed how far we still have to go before all survivors access their rights with @SBSisters and @ICChangeUK today
Take-aways for all! MPs, GREVIO and NGOs from today’s seminar on the role and responsibility of parliamentarians in supporting the Istanbul Convention hosted by @UKParliament! Stay tuned for the conclusions and follow-up.

Cross party support, role of parliaments & building alliances including with specialised women’s organizations & service providers is v. important. As parliamentarians important you hold government accountable.

Thanks to @baronessgale & the @ICChangeUK for today’s fantastic event.
We celebrate the UK ratifying the Istanbul Convention, but by reserving article 59, the govt contributes to migrant women’s vulnerability to experiencing gender-based abuse.
