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.
