My Voice, My Choice: A Citizens’ Initiative for Safe and Accessible Abortion in the EU

Your signature can be the difference for over 20 million women across the European Union who still face barriers to accessing safe abortion care. In Poland, women are dying in hospitals because abortion is banned. In Malta, women risk up to three years in prison for seeking an abortion outside of a few narrow legal exceptions. In Hungary, women are forced to listen to the heartbeat of a fetus and stand before a committee just to exercise their right to choose. Across Europe, women are suffering unnecessarily, because they are denied their most basic rights.

Fighting Sexual Violence Stigma in Estonia

A European Union-wide survey conducted among over 40,000 Estonian women in 2014 revealed that 13% of women over the age of 15 have experienced sexual violence (Wright, 2020) at least once in their lives. That’s one in every eight women in Estonia. Let that sink in. In the last decade, the number of reported sexual crimes has continued to rise, reaching a total of 731 cases in 2023, according to the Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) (Nael, 2024). The problem is growing, yet we’re still not talking about it. Are we afraid? What are we waiting for? It’s time to BE LOUD.

Women Helping Women: A Legacy of Empowerment and Growth

In a world often divided by boundaries and biases, there is a quiet revolution led by women, for
women—a movement rooted in the understanding that when women help each other rise, they
don’t just lift individuals but entire generations. Studies show that when women are empowered
through education and resources, their impact extends beyond themselves, positively influencing
families and communities. For instance, research indicates that women who earn higher incomes
are more likely to invest in their children’s education and health, improving outcomes for future
generations (World Bank, 2012). This sentiment underscores the ripple effect of investing in
women, as they are the architects of their futures and society’s collective progress.
