Within the framework of the FEMM Committee, AfD Member of the European Parliament Irmhild Boßdorf, member of the ESN Group, expressed fundamental criticism of the Mission Report on the 70th UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70). Boßdorf firmly opposed the initiative by Committee Chair Lina Gálvez to position the European Commission as a future host for CSW sessions following the withdrawal of the United States.
ESN Member of the European Parliament Irmhild Boßdorf stated:
“For 80 years, the UN Commission on the Status of Women has been a left-leaning mass organization that today is no longer even capable of defining what a woman actually is.
The attempt to turn Brussels into a new global hub for gender mainstreaming is a diplomatic misadventure. While the EU plans to spend €110 billion over the next five years on intersectionality, drag queen Erasmus programs, and the LGBTQIA+ agenda, Brussels remains silent on the existential threats facing women in Europe. Real women’s policy does not take place at left-wing conferences. It begins where we protect girls and women from assaults rooted in archaic cultures, from gang rapes, and so-called honor killings.
Before letters are sent to von der Leyen, one thing must be clear: we do not need a supranational ideological factory, but a Europe of nation states that takes women seriously again instead of sacrificing them to left-wing woke projects. We will reject the Mission Report in its current form.”
