La semaine dernière, la présidente C. Sheinbaum du 🇲🇽 a été victime de harcèlement sexuel en pleine rue. Si cela arrive à une présidente, imaginez à quel point cela doit être fréquent pour les femmes & filles en général, sans personne pour les défendre. #ZeroTolerance @megaluxembourg.bsky.social

Felicitatiounen un den Eric Lamhene, deem säi beandrockende Film “Hors d'Haleine” an d'Oscar Preselektioun gaangen ass!

De Film dréit derzou bäi, dass mir dat wichtegt Thema vun der haislecher Gewalt enttabuiséieren, an de schroen Impakt vun der Gewalt weisen.

The European Convention on Human Rights came into force on #OnThisDay in 1953.

All 46 Council of Europe member states have signed up to the #ECHR, an international treaty to protect people’s #HumanRights and fundamental freedoms.
