Today, 25 November, the world is painted orange. Orange symbolises hope, a future free from violence and a world where women can live without fear.
I am proud that EU-funded research offers hope and new tools that can help to stop violence against women at home and online.

Hungarian FM Péter Szijjártó is urging the EU to halt funding to Ukraine, citing ongoing corruption. He claimed Brussels keeps sending money without accountability, referencing recent scandals. He vowed that as long as Fidesz is in power, no Hungarian funds will go to Ukraine.
