These tragic cases show that even though we have managed to change a number of key laws, further effort is needed for a real transformation of practice. It is crucial to systematically educate judges and increase the capacities of prevention and assistance services for endangered children and child victims of violence. (translated)

The high tolerance for violence against children by key institutions is a systemic problem that requires immediate resolution. "We cannot divide children into those who deserve protection and those who do not. Children from very poor, unstable environments where violence is the norm are extremely vulnerable." (translated)

Prague Pride is starting. It is an important space where one does not have to hide who they are or defend whom they love. It is also a reminder that the opportunity to live safely and openly is still not a given for everyone. I remember last year's event as a beautiful gathering full of closeness and mutual support. (translated)

I am thinking of all the victims of the tragic attack on the Berlin LGBTQ Pride festival, the injured, and their loved ones. I express my deep condolences to them and wish them strength in these extremely difficult times. In response to some comments under the posts about the attack, it is necessary to be aware that the public (translated)

In Great Britain, ending homelessness has become one of the new government's top priorities. I appreciate that alongside the human aspect, the economic one is also openly discussed. As noted in an article by Alarm referencing research data from the United Kingdom by the organization Crisis, a year of life... (translated)

The rules of government decision-making should be open, understandable, and allow for effective public oversight. However, the proposed new Government Rules of Procedure contains several changes that may weaken these principles. For some decisions regarding public funds, it will no longer be published how... (translated)

Please pay maximum attention. The currently prepared proposal for the new Rules of Procedure of the government represents another fundamental weakening of transparency and public control over government decision-making. It restricts the space for consultation procedures and expert discussion. On selected decisions regarding the public (translated)

I am grateful that we were able to prepare and pass the domestic violence law in the last electoral term. Now the police can expel the perpetrator of violence for up to 14 days and also has a new obligation to confiscate all weapons from the attacker. The protection of victims and the prevention of violence must be a high priority. (translated)

Today we commemorate 76 years since the execution of Milada Horáková – a lawyer, social worker, resistance fighter, and women's rights advocate. Her legacy compels us to defend democracy, social justice, equality, solidarity, and a dignified life for everyone. (translated)

It is sad that today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, we learn the news that the current government has revoked the previous government's decision to express consent to ratify the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence. (translated)

Thank you to the media for the intense attention to the cancellation of expert human rights units at the Office of the Government. It is not just an organizational shift within the public administration, but an intervention into the institutional anchoring and the very essence of the agendas that protect human rights, equality, and the dignity of people in our country. (translated)

Klára Šimáčková Laurenčíková: Považuji to za vážnou chybu a mimořádně nezodpovědný krok. Pro ochranu lidských práv a politiku rovnosti žen a mužů je jejich koordinace na národní, vládní úrovni zásadní.

With today's decision by the government, the Department for Human Rights and the Protection of Minorities of the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic will cease to exist from July 1st after more than twenty years. Its agenda will be divided among three ministries – the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, and the Ministry of Culture. (translated)

Vyhrožovat novinářce smrtí není názor. Je to útok na její bezpečí, důstojnost i na svobodu veřejné debaty. Chci vyjádřit plnou podporu Zuzaně Černé a poděkovat jí za její práci. Novinářky a novináři mají právo vykonávat svou profesi bez strachu, zastrašování a nenávistných útoků. #SvobodaTisku #BezpečnostNovinářů #PodporaŽen

Dnešek je mezinárodním dnem porodních asistentek. Velké díky za Vaši práci – je nutné dále usilovat o důstojné podmínky, v nichž budou porodní asistentky moci autonomně vykonávat svoji důležitou roli. #PorodníAsistentky #Zdraví #Důstojnost

Před 22 lety naše země vstoupila do Evropské unie – společenství, díky kterému jsme stabilnější a silnější. Díky za to! Ať už dnes vedou vaše kroky kamkoliv – ať je v dnešku prostor i pro lásku, která k dnešnímu dni (i k těm ostatním) patří. 🌸 https://t.co/d1exhT29d0 #EvropskáUnie #Dnes #Láska

Co vypovídá o našem veřejném prostoru, když ženy volí mezi veřejnou rolí a vlastním bezpečím? Až 80 % veřejně aktivních žen čelí útokům, přes 40 % i sexualizovaným. Přicházíme tak o důležité hlasy. Celý videorozhovor: https://t.co/xnam6jpsdQ https://t.co/LLUa0XIIDt #women #safety #publicspace

Díky za hojnou účast a společnou debatu na téma „Občanská společnost jako základ stability“. Cením si věcné a přímé diskuze i možnosti sdílení osobních zkušeností. Debata uzavřela letošní ročník filmového festivalu „Jeden svět“ v Ostravě. https://t.co/dh0D1y6Uc3 #ObčanskáSpolečnost #Debata #JedenSvět

Promítání dokumentu „Co pak?“ otevřelo důležité téma: co se děje s mladými lidmi po odchodu z dětských domovů. Příběhy Stefanie a Daniela ukazují, jak křehká je hranice mezi zvládnutím a nejistotou. Díky doktorandce UMPRUM Anně Šťastné za citlivé zpracování i diskusi. https://t.co/TxJr7l2if0 #mladí #dokument #odchod

V minulém týdnu proběhla debata k zahájení filmového festivalu dokumentárních filmů o lidských právech JEDEN SVĚT v Liberci. Bylo mi radostí být u toho. Příští týden se těším na zahájení Jednoho světa v Ostravě. https://t.co/8SbW8RtH2g #JedenSvět #DokumentárníFilmy #LidskáPráva
